Hi, I'm having an issue with admin backups and hope someone can help out please.
Is there a way to exclude certain paths from backups created using the "Admin Backup/Transfer" tool?
I tried adding a /home/username/.backup_exclude_paths as described here https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1737 but that didn't do anything at all.
So I assume it only works for backups that the user creates and I need to add this to the backups created by admin.
Reason for this is that when my backups run each night I regularly get an email saying that an error occurred, and it is usually an issue with just a couple of customers who's sites have a tmp folder that stores cache or session data. The data in these folders either changes during the backup process or has permissions DA can't access (such as apache 700).
I was hoping to simply exclude these folders from the backup since it is not necessary to backup their temporary cache or session data.
I see errors such as:
Error Compressing the backup file user.reseller.username.tar.gz : /bin/tar: domains/domain.com/public_html/files/tmp/sess_91eab66cf1bafadb64431f6cf900dd87: Cannot open: Permission denied

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
