Is this part of the install files only ? /usr/local/cpanel/etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf i.e. does this get copied to /etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf to populate some initial defaults for us, end then /usr/local/cpanel/etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf is never used again? i.e. if we add anything to this files, it has no effect, and if so, safe to delete it? (to avoid confusion)

  Hello, The /etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf file is the copy you should edit to add more exclusions. The /usr/local/cpanel/etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf file includes the system's default exclusions. The exclusions from both files are merged at backup time via the a Pkgacct call. Thank you.
