Exclude suspended accounts to save storage and time.

The Disk Usage Filter allows you to include or exclude accounts based on their disk space usage. This is useful for prioritizing high-usage accounts or skipping accounts that consume very little space.
With this filter type, you can:
-
Set disk usage thresholds (e.g., greater than or less than a specific size in MB or GB).
-
Include accounts that exceed a certain disk usage to ensure large or critical accounts are backed up.
Inode Usage Filter
The Inode Usage Filter allows you to filter accounts based on their inode consumption. Inodes represent the number of files and directories used by an account, which is especially important on servers with inode limits.
With this filter type, you can:
-
Set conditions based on inode count (e.g., include accounts with more than X inodes).
-
Target high-inode accounts that may impact server performance or require special attention.

Select one or more hosting packages to filter accounts accordingly.
