  Hello, You can exclude specific directories from your backups. The following documentation goes over this: How to Exclude Files from Backups | cPanel & WHM Documentation

  @cPanelLauren I think he wants to prevent cPanel users from saving backups in the home directory.

  Ahh thanks for the clarification @quietFinn. While that documentation does allow for exclusions per user - it'd be for automated backups only and they'd be able to modify it. If that's the case, there's not a way to do this natively within cPanel but you could create a script that removes .tar.gz files from /home/ and add it as a cron with the root user, though the danger of this would be that it will remove anything with that file extension.
