    Default stop backups for new created users

    Hi,

    I only backup certain user accounts so i like to select specific accounts from the list.

    However when i come to create a new account, this account is automatically enabled in the backup user list.

    How can i stop new account from being enabled for a backup in this list?

    Thanks.

    Default

    Obviously, cPanel only provides the function to skip specified accounts, not the other way around. However, you could use the /scripts/postwwwacct method and append the newly created account name to the file /etc/cpbackup-userskip.conf
