Is it possible to have backup skip the analog/cache folder

[Silver_2000]

the user/tmp/analog/cache

can be really big for a busy site - its just the stats cache
Is it possible to have the backup skip those folders ?

Yes, you can skip any directory you like from backing up.
Create a file named ".cpbackup-skip" inside the directory you want to skip.
chown the file to that user.group


touch .cpbackup-skip
chown user.group .cpbackup-skip

Or disable analog stats in WHM all together.

Great answers guys - Especially Info pro - I disabled Analopg stats last year - forgot that - all these files are junk - HUGE disk space savings

Why dont you just login to the server as root and delete these files completely before you make the backup?

Because Im preparing for automated backups

Since the analog stats are disabled I deleted all the analog files
