If a client didn't want to backup emails for any account would un-ticking "Mail/FTP users and mail aliases " be right ?

No - that will just prevent backups of the details of email accounts. Because mail files are stored under the home directory (on a typical Postfix install of Virtualmin), they will be included in home directory backups.

Ok -- you guys might want to add that feature but manually adding homes/ directory to not be backed up will do then.

Yes, that's the recommended solution.

Ok so I tested this out and under the scheduled backup and did a manual test backup

I added homes/ under " Features and settings --> Files to exclude from each domain" to exclude and it did do that.

Do you still have any questions here? I thought the exclusion fixed the issue ..

Opps I meant to type it didn't do that...

I added homes/ under " Features and settings --> Files to exclude from each domain" to exclude and it didn't do that. I still see homes/ and all users and emails.

Did you try just adding homes instead of homes/ to the exclude list?
