I want to automatically create cpmove files (cron job). I want to keep always one complete backup (just in case something goes terribly wrong during the backup process), but the new one should not include that one. So I have to exclude the existing cpmove file (home/mydomain/backups/cpmove-mydomain.tar.gz) from the new backup. How can I do that?

  Hello :), Yes, You can exclude any files/folder from user backup by updating /home/username/cpbackup-exclude.conf file. Please check following URL and try to update your file.

  Hello, Regarding the previous response, that is the correct method of excluding files from backups. However, keep the following points in mind: [LIST]

  If you initiate a Home Directory backup in cPanel's script, the global and exclude files do not affect the contents of the backup file.

  The global and local exclude files apply to the account backups that you manage in WHM's Backup section (Home >> Backup) and the Download or Generate a Full Website Backup feature in cPanel's Backup interface (Home >> Files >> Backup).
  Thank you.
