The best and easiest way is to put both the back directory and the wwwroot directory in the site directory. – Jason Pan
In this way, the time spent locating error messages or modifying scripts will be greatly reduced. When the program is updated in the future, it will not appear, because of forgotten or lack of steps, which program does not work on the front end or the back end. – Jason Pan
Please remember that in path mappings, modify the file directory of virtual applications and add folders in the scm website. – Jason Pan

In Azure Web APP deploy task, there is no such option could meet your requirements.

You could try to use Azure App Service deploy task.

In Azure App Service deploy task, you could enable the Select deployment method option and input the -skip argument

enter image description here

For example:

-skip:Directory=\\back

OR

-skip:skipAction=Delete,objectName=dirPath,absolutePath=wwwroot\\back

-skip:skipAction=Update,objectName=dirPath,absolutePath=wwwroot\\back

Then the target folder will skip the option to modify the content.

For more detailed information, you could refer to this ticket:Azure Pipelines: Exclude folders using Azure App Service Deploy and this blog: Demystifying MSDeploy skip rules.
