mailbox full bounce to sender due to forwarder

I have 2 accounts: 'jim' and 'backup'.
Using cpanel Email forwarders I setup forwarding for all email sent to jim@x.com to also be sent to backup@x.com.

Sender 'joe' is not aware that his email is also going to backup@x.com.

backup@x.com mailbox FILLS UP and will not take any more email. Now 'joe' is getting "mailbox full" bounces that says backup@x.com mailbox is full. Not good. Joe is confused.

Is there a way to prevent the sender from getting bounces from 'silent' forwarded recipients like this. I'm running linux, Cpanel.

Thanx,
Jim
