After version of cPanel (11.24) was released, You can create a file called cpbackup-exclude.conf in your home directory (/home/user-id) to exclude files from a cPanel backup.
Each item (which can be file or directory) to skip must be on it’s only line in this file.
Directories should not have a trailing slash. Each entry must have the full path to the file or directory. This file is only used if you manually run a complete site back up from cPanel. It does not affect the Doreo backup system.
Here is a sample to exclude all the subfolders & files under public_html/temp and public_ftp/temp of user sample:
/home/sample/public_html/temp
/home/sample/public_ftp/temp
In some hosting server (such as bluehost), you would need to use relative path instead of full path in cpbackup-exclude.conf file, like this:
public_html/temp
public_ftp/temp
Hope this information would help you.

Excluding Files from Backup Using cpbackup-exclude.conf
In cPanel/WHM version 11.24, you can exclude certain files and directories from being included in backups. This is accomplished by listing the files or directories in a configuration file called cpbackup-exclude.conf. To do this:
1. If it does not already exist, create the file cpbackup-exclude.conf in the home directory of the user who owns the files or directories you wish to exclude.
* For example, type: touch /home/user/cpbackup-exclude.conf
2. Inside the file, type each item you wish to exclude from backups, one per line. If you enter a directory name, all files inside the directory will be excluded from backups.
* Directories should not have a trailing slash.
* Simple shell wildcard characters are allowed for matching control.
* Here is a sample of the configuration file content:
core.[0-9]
*.tmp
public_html/myfile.txt
public_html/mydir
mail
note Note: This process only works for full backups of a website; it does not apply to Home Directory backups.
