AutoRestore Add Folders and Files examples

Email Question:

Hello,

updated today my website to the new bps version, and would like to know if this was correct.

https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/autorestore-added-folders-files-rebuild-setup-steps/

Please see here the Folder path:

/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/cache
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/et-cache
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/ewww
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/languages
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/maintenance
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/mu-plugins
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/plugins
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/themes
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/uploads
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/wflogs
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/wp-rocket-config

Please see here the File path:

/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/advanced-cache.php
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/object-cache.php

I just copy every path (like in the screenshot example /cache) to enter Hosting Account Root Folder
Then I choose Add Top Level Folder – All Sub Folders …
And after Just press add

Is this correct, or do I miss something?

Answer:

Your hosting account root folder path is: /var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs

The plugins folder is protected by the BPS Pro Plugin Firewall feature.
The themes folder is already monitored and protected by AutoRestore|Quarantine.
The uploads folder is protected by the BPS Pro UAEG feature.

/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/plugins
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/themes
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/uploads

These are excluded folders that you would NOT add to Added Folders and Files:
You do NOT want AutoRestore|Quarantine to check this folders because these folders are dynamically updated and files will be repeatedly quarantined.

/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/cache
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/et-cache
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/ewww
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/languages
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/maintenance
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/mu-plugins
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/wflogs
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/wp-rocket-config

These are excluded files that you would NOT add to Added Folders and Files:
You do NOT want AutoRestore|Quarantine to check this files because these files are dynamically updated and these files will be repeatedly quarantined.

/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/advanced-cache.php
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/wp-content/object-cache.php

I think you are misunderstanding what the AutoRestore Add Folders & Files feature is intended to be used for.
By default AutoRestore|Quarantine monitors and protects all WP Core folders (wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes) except for folders and files that are excluded because those folders and files are dynamically updated. The Add Folders & Files feature should only be used for non-WP Core folders and files.

Examples:
If you have an example folders here that you want the AutoRestore|Quarantine Add Folders & Files feature to monitor and protect. You would add these folders in the Add Folders & Files feature:
Note: Each folder would be added individually using the Add Folders & Files form. You can only add 1 folder/folder path at a time.

/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/vz01pro1/example-folder
/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/example-folder

For both of these example folders you would choose the Add Top Level Folder option to monitor and protect all folders and files under these example folders.
