    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.

    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.
