one idea would be drop to the hn shell and back up the vmid directory and exclude the directory you dont want. You can either tarball the files or leave raw. I have used rsnapshot for this.

Hi Tom,
Do You plan to introduce this usefull feature in GUI?

That is quite usefull thing especially for VM's with lots of rarely updated files.

Kind regards,
Piotr
