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
