Remove Home Directory From Fullbackup Destination

[httpdocs]

hello
i need to remove only home directory from Backup Destination in cPanel account.
I don't want cPanel Users back up Files at home directory.But the other options don't matter. (FTP,SCP...)
This may be?

Hello,

You can exclude specific directories from your backups. The following documentation goes over this: How to Exclude Files from Backups | cPanel & WHM Documentation

I think he wants to prevent cPanel users from saving backups in the home directory.

Ahh thanks for the clarification @quietFinn. While that documentation does allow for exclusions per user - it'd be for automated backups only and they'd be able to modify it.

If that's the case, there's not a way to do this natively within cPanel but you could create a script that removes .tar.gz files from /home/ and add it as a cron with the root user, though the danger of this would be that it will remove anything with that file extension.
