Hello, How can I exclude a specific table from being backed up using cPanel's built-in backup feature? I have a table that I'm storing on my HDD and it causes my server to crash when cPanel runs its backup (because the table is large and on a traditional HDD instead of an SSD). For now, I've had to disable cPanel backup because of this issue. However, I would like to be able to use cPanel backup to backup everything expect that specific table (note: its a table, not a whole database). Thanks!

  Hello :) The current automated backup options for MySQL databases are documented here: Backup Configuration - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Note that it's not currently possible to exclude specific tables unless you develop a custom script that manually dumps a database with custom options using the "mysqldump" utility. Thank you.
