Is there any way to back up only a specific directory?

The scenario I have here is that we want to back up only a specific directory within a virtual machine. For example, let's say we need to back up the /opt/backups/ directory while excluding all other files and folders. The goal is to ensure that only the contents of this directory are preserved and maintained as backups, without including unnecessary data from the rest of the system. 

 

is there any way to do this ?

Install linux file system on the specific client.

Once it is installed, configure your content tab to reflect the directly you want to backup.
