Hi. We use cPanel partial backups ('Home' & 'Database') to keep versions of sites as backups, to transfer sites, etc. Most of the time this works really well.
But we have a couple sites that have a HUGE amount of email (multiple GB) that choke up the backup process. It either takes forever or times out. We just need backups of the sites in an easy way, not the email.
1) Is there any way to exclude the email from a 'Home' backup? I read that this can be done for 'Full Backups', but those can't be restored easily (correct?), so kind of defeats the purpose.
2) We also want to migrate a site from one cPanel account to another. The source does not have email created (it was a temp development account), but the destination does have a huge amount of email (5GB+). If we do a 'Home' backup on the source (with no email), then restore on the destination, will it delete all existing email?
Thanks for any tips or advice here!
