cPanel Exclude from Home Directory Backup
Sometimes there may be large files that don't change, and don't need to be
backed up as often as the rest of the files, like a folder of videos for instance.

New feature in cPanel version 11.24.1

This applies to the "Home Directory Backup" in cPanel.

To use this feature, create the file cpbackup-exclude.conf in the home directory.
(The directory that contains the public_html folder)
           
Creating cpbackup-exclude.conf
Each item to skip must be on its own line in the file.
Directories should not have a trailing slash.
Each entry must be a fully-qualified path starting from the home directory as below.

/home/user/public_html/excluded-dir

!! Be careful with this feature because it could be a liability as much as a benefit
if you are not aware of (or forget about) the files that will be omitted by
using cpbackup-exclude.conf
