    Hello
    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I have searched but haven't been able to find a definitive answer.

    If I put:
    /home

    into /etc/cpbackup-exclude.conf

    Will the daily backup ignore the whole /home directory?

    What I'm wanting to do is rsync the /home offsite, but use the backup script to backup all the config, mySQL etc.

    Thanks in advance.
