exclude public_html when transferring sites between servers

[forlinuxsupport]

Please allow the site transfer wizard to exclude the "public_html" directory from the transfer.

So it will copy all emails, ftp users, emails, databases etc.

This allows me to then copy the "public_html" directory later and also makes account transfers much quicker.

That's an interesting idea. You can add that directory to the cpbackup-exclude.conf file for this now manually to do the same thing.

To take it even further since you listed other directories, why not a checklist of directories? If I untick public_html and save, the system writes to the cpbackup-exclude.conf before the backup starts and public_html is skipped.

All directories that may normally be large (public_html, mail directory for example) are already checked by default so get backed up.

Just thinking out loud here.

yes that does sound reasonable.
