Exclude add-on domains from partial backup

[rgdot]

Am I correct in thinking the Partial Backup of Home Directory in cPanel means add-on domains are included in the back up?

If so is there a way to exclude add-on domains? (with an exclude file or in cPanel itself)

I believe you can add a file cpbackup-exclude.conf which can exclude folders from being backed up.

Then I think you can do something like this:

public_html/addondomain.com

It's line by line so one exclusion per line.

Although I'm not positive on the exact syntax or if it'll work.

Thanx Tony, I will find out the exact syntax and will post it here too whether or not it works

I haven't yet tried it here on HH but:

From cPanel wiki

http://twiki.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/WHMDocs/CpbackupExclude

and another source

http://www.swiftcore.com/en/software/cpanel-backup-script-exclusion-cpbackup-excludeconf.html

Note the last line on the wiki page:

Note: This process only works for full backups of a website; it does not apply to Home Directory backups.
