Description

What problem will this feature address?

Exclude folders that should not be in the backup.

We have currently all our app volumes as /etc/dokploy/volumes (shared storage setup) and now the cluster backups are gigantic.
It would be great to add an include and exclude path so the backup can be more specific.

Research direction

Start by locating the cluster-backup implementation and how application volumes such as /etc/dokploy/volumes are selected. Trace the current backup path handling before deciding where include and exclude paths belong. Done means users can specify paths and backups omit excluded folders while retaining included content.
