Incremental backup to Amazon S3

Hi everyone, We're trying to use Amazon S3 for our daily backups, however, we don't want to send all the data everyday. Is there a way for cPanel to backup system configuration, accounts informations and databases, without backuping user's home directories. The home directories would be handled by an "s3cmd sync" script that would be launched by /scripts/postcpbackup.

  Thanks Michael, one question... does this: */.wysiwygPro_* mean that anything called .wysiwygPro_[whatever] stored in [wherever] wont be saved? So If I need to exclude cache directories from accounts may I use: */cache/* would that be fine?

  Yes, however you should likely restrict it to your public_html directories. EX: public_html/cache/*
  This would exclude the files within the cache directory, but not the directory itself. Thank you.
