    Hello,
    I hame some backup bash script, to backup my hosts on cPanel server.
    its was using /scripts/pkgacct
    but as you know /scripts/pkgacct does not support the cpbackup-exclude.conf
    in other word, you cant specify to /scripts/pkgacct to do not backup the excluded files / directories.
    so, I had to switch from /scripts/pkgacct to /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/pkgacct
    it was fine, but now I see its not making backup for users that filled quota.
    in other word, if you have 100 host accounts, and 5 of them are out of quota, you will have 95 backup files, and it will not provide you backup for the 5 overloaded quota hosts.
    I need some way, to skip quota check, and support the cpbackup-exclude.conf.
    just tell me if you have any solution.
    regards
    Jalal

    Hello,

    These are the same files. The "/scripts" location is just a symbolic link to "/usr/local/cpanel/scripts". Have you considered using the backup option available in Web Host Manager under "Backup Configuration"?

    Thank you.

    Yes, but that does not support the cpbackup-exclude.conf placed on user home dir.

    Hello,

    This method should actually respect the exclusion entries in the /home/$username/cpbackup-exclude.conf file.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    The output you provided indicates you used "/scripts/pkgacct" to generate the archive as opposed to the backup option available in Web Host Manager under "Backup Configuration", which is what I'm referring to.

    Thank you.

    Yes, but I need to use some command line backup tools.

    Right, this feature is not possible with /scripts/pkgacct. There's no other workaround beyond configuring backups in Web Host Manager and forcing a generation of backups via:

    Code:
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force
    Thank you.
