First, I'm sorry, I tried to find clear answer using CPanel manual, but ... :( I want turn off backup(new and legacy) for one account. Is it possible do not backup files and mysql basas for selected account? If I select "Backup SQL Databases per account only" it's mean backup will not created for selected account if backup turned off for the account?

  Hello :) You can enable or disable backups for a particular account via: "WHM Home " Backup " Backup User Selection" Database backups are enabled globally in "WHM Home " Backup " Backup Configuration". It's not possible to exclude database backups on particular accounts. Are you attempting to exclude a particular database from a backup, or is this a global option you are looking to implement on several accounts? Thank you.

  Yes, I want to exclude from backup huge database for particular account. I have turned off backup for the account, but yes, i worry about the huge database created on the account.

  You may want to disable backups for the account in WHM and instead backup the account manually with the skipacctdb flag. EX: /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct --skipacctdb $username
  You could then backup other databases associated with the account through the use of the "mysqldump" utility. You could setup a cron job if you prefer it to occur on a regular basis. Thank you.
