Hello, I hame some backup bash script, to backup my hosts on cPanel server. its was using /scripts/pkgacct but as you know /scripts/pkgacct does not support the cpbackup-exclude.conf in other word, you cant specify to /scripts/pkgacct to do not backup the excluded files / directories. so, I had to switch from /scripts/pkgacct to /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct it was fine, but now I see its not making backup for users that filled quota. in other word, if you have 100 host accounts, and 5 of them are out of quota, you will have 95 backup files, and it will not provide you backup for the 5 overloaded quota hosts. I need some way, to skip quota check, and support the cpbackup-exclude.conf. just tell me if you have any solution. regards Jalal

  so, I had to switch from /scripts/pkgacct to /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct

  
  Hello, These are the same files. The "/scripts" location is just a symbolic link to "/usr/local/cpanel/scripts". Have you considered using the backup option available in Web Host Manager under "Backup Configuration"? Thank you.

  Yes, but that does not support the cpbackup-exclude.conf placed on user home dir.

  Yes, but that does not support the cpbackup-exclude.conf placed on user home dir.

  
  Hello, This method should actually respect the exclusion entries in the /home/$username/cpbackup-exclude.conf file. Thank you.

  Hello, The output you provided indicates you used "/scripts/pkgacct" to generate the archive as opposed to the backup option available in Web Host Manager under "Backup Configuration", which is what I'm referring to. Thank you.

  Yes, but I need to use some command line backup tools.

  Right, this feature is not possible with /scripts/pkgacct. There's no other workaround beyond configuring backups in Web Host Manager and forcing a generation of backups via:
  /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force
  Thank you.
