Back up a single file to an Azure website
I have a site in Azure that uses a SQL CE 4.0 database. For security reasons, I want to back up my daily database and keep it for two weeks.
The database is quite small (under 10MB), but the site itself contains a huge folder of images that can be up to 1GB in size. The images never change and I want to avoid over-supporting them.
What is the best way to create a backup for such a case?

You can specify a list of files and folders to exclude from your backups by specifying them in the _backup.filter file.
In your case, it sounds like you want to exclude everything, so you need to specify the root folder as the folder you want to exclude
