Ability for cpanel user to specify a list of excluded files and/or folders

Jim Bob shared this idea 6 years ago
Completed

Hello,

It would be good for the cpanel user to have a new area in the jetBackup SETTINGS screen where they can add a list of files and/or folders they want to exclude.


For example, some of our test users have large .tar.gz files that are not necessary to backup.. but there is no way to exclude these files without contacting admin or technical support.


It should be easily possible for user to go into "Cpanel-->jetbackup-->Settings" page and then specify the files/folders they do not want to backup.


Thanks.

Hello Jim,


We are excited to announce the release of JetBackup 5 to the STABLE Tier! JetBackup 5 is our fastest, most secure, versatile, and reliable version yet! Now with even more highly requested destinations supporting incremental backups to choose from! See our JetBackup 5 product page for more details.


With this new version, end users have the ability to set their own exclude lists under their Account Settings in the JetBackup interface. See the image below:

These end-user assigned exclude lists can be set to all or specific backup jobs from within the same menu.

Please Note: JetBackup 5 utilizes a new JetBackup Core and introduces a new Backup Structure/Format and Engine.


Benefits of the new JetBackup Core and Structure

- Allows the flexibility to support multiple panels and operating systems, and be platform-agnostic.

- More granular control over backups and restores.

- Ability to backup and restore accounts across multiple platforms and control panels.

- Better backup performance and efficiency improvements, effectively lowering storage costs.

- Highly configurable and extensible system - We are developing a full API to allow third-party developers to integrate JetBackup in other panels/platforms and extend its functionality.


You can get started with JetBackup for DirectAdmin comes with a FREE 10-Day Trial for all new installations at https://billing.jetapps.com/index.php?rp=/store/free-trial-license.
