open /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/ispcp-backup-all

search for:

Code:

--exclude=phptmp

insert into this line what you want exclude:

Code:

--exclude=DIRECTORY_NAME

should i put an absolute path in there or something relative to... to what?

sample folder tree:
dir1/config/a.php
dir1/dir2/config/b.php

if you use --exclude=config than all path will exclude witch contains the "config" pattern, but is you use --exclude=dir1/config than only the first line will exclude from example
