    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

    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?

    :confused:
