Option to skip databases when backups are created

**cPanelJeff** · 11-18-2010 03:56 PM

Hi there,

Currently the script used to archive users' accounts - /scripts/pkgacct - provides an option to skip the user's home directory:

Code:

# /scripts/pkgacct --skiphomedir $username

This thread is being used to gauge the interest of a similar option for skipping users' databases, perhaps like this:

Code:

# /scripts/pkgacct --skipdbs $username

Please let us know your thoughts.

Thanks.

I know this thread is quite old, but I would absolutely like to see this functionality added. When a user has a 8 GB database it's just not practical to use pkgacct for it as it will take forever to finish, or simply never finish at all.
