Hey,
I'm creating a daily backup of all the users in the server (from the admin account), and I'm saving them in:
Code:
/home/admin/my_daily_backup
from there, I have an external backup server, which connects through SSH and grabs those user backups into the backup server.

the problem is, that on the next day, the DA backup creates an admin backup (user admin) and therefor the my_daily_backup directory is being backed up - this causes the backup to take a very long time (a few hours) and be very big (10s of GBs).

the only solution I can think of is moving the my_daily_backup out side:
Code:
/home/admin/

is there a better solution?
 
I use to make a directory called /backup and send admins backup there, so, arent re-added to new backup each time.

Regards
