  in /home are all your cpanel users accounts stored, unless you have them stored in other location, but you didn't mention that! if you don't want to backup then simple disable your backup config. Just read through the options, do you want only Monthly tick that!

  actually we use r1soft for servers backup. R1soft can only restore files and folders but it can not restore whole cpanel struction. we want to keep cpanel acount stucture + mysql db. In case if account is deleted we can restore cpanel backup from weekly or monthly backup and restore files from R1soft... this is why we want to have cpanel backups without /home

  Hello, Unfortunately the Backup Configuration does not provide an option to disable backing up /home. You can however use the global /etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf file to exclude specific folders. This would have to list specific folders under the users /home/user directory such as public_html or mail and will not allow you to completely exclude the entire /home/user folder.
