data folder not syncing child items

[goldjg]

I have grav skeleton site running on an Azure Web App on Windows, and have installed both Admin and Git-Sync.

Git sync initial sync was fine and if I add a new page via the admin plugin, it is automatically synced with my repo in bitbucket (yay!).

However, I also ran from the Azure Kudu console the command php bin\grav backup from D:\home\site\wwwroot and whilst the backup worked and created a backup zip file in the backup dir, when I then made a new backup directory under data\ and if I copy the backup file there, gitsync ignores it and the backup directory.

I also tried placing the new directory and backup file under user\data to no avail.

Is this by design or a bug?
