Exclude folders from disk usage calculation

[justjosh]

Hey,

We run file level backup that backs up to the an excluded folder within /home directory "/home/.backups/". User is unable to opt out of this so we want to include one copy of backups for "free".

Unfortunately, user disk usage ends up being calculated twice, once for /home/user directory and again for /home/.backups/user.

Is there a way to exclude /home/.backups from quota calculation?

Thanks

You might could do something with this

Possible to exclude some folders from disk calcualtion?

Some users have heavy traffic and thus their logs' size are high. Same with email usage with only webmail or imap. Is it possible to exclude /stats or /logs or even /imap folders' sizes from calculation for some or all users hosting package? Thanks
