I have a Windows Azure Website and I've setup Azure Continuous Integration with hosted Team Foundation Server. I make a change on my local copy, commit to TFS, and it gets published to Azure. This is great, the problem is that I have an Access database in the ~\App_Data\ folder and when I check-in the copy on Azure gets overwritten.
I setup a web-deploy publish profile to "Exclude App_Data" and configured the build task to use the web-deploy profile, and now it DELETES my ~\App_Data\ folder.
Is there a way to configure Azure Continuous Integration to deploy everything and leave the App_Data alone?
