May i please and option to exclude backup from bandwidth monitoring?

Some users has got big site with low traffic and use our remote backup solution too, so they hit the limit and they are confused now. So an option can be fine where we can disable backup banwidth monitoring.

thanks Lawrence

Howdy -- can you describe how your remote backup solution works?

With Virtualmin's bandwidth monitoring, it would only track Web traffic, incoming FTP traffic, and email traffic.

It wouldn't see outgoing FTP traffic, or any sort of SSH traffic, since those aren't logged.

We use FTP simply. Virtualmin mark it on the bandwidth graph as "Backup data" and use black marker color for it.

Virtualmin do not disable the customer site when they over limit in this case just send a notification email daily.

I will add an option in the next Virtualmin release to control if backup transfers are included or not..
