Title: Exclude a directory
Post by: alafurtanfuni on April 14, 2016, 02:00:21 PM

Hi,

How can i ignore a directory?

For example /home/user/video directory has 5k videos, i do not want to backup the video directory.

Thanks for your replies.

you can disable backup for that account and create some custom script for backup

A native option like cpbackup-exclude.conf (https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Exclude+Files+From+Backups) for cPanel could be very useful.
I use it to excluding cache files using a pattern, so I can save a lot of backup space and speeding up the backup operation.

Agreed, exclusions are an essential part of any backup regime and is standard practice. Otherwise it's just an amateur approach.
