I have installed percona extra backup by adding their repository. This worked and I was able to install the software successfully.
However now I am trying to run apt-get upgrade and it is trying to update percona. Our client does not wish for this to be included in the regular updates as they wish to control this personally.
Is it possible to exclude a repository when performing this ?

You can comment those repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list by putting # at first of lines. also you can disable them in synaptic > setting > repositories > other software.
more information is available at:
you can hold a package using
sudo apt-mark hold package_name
and remove the hold with
sudo apt-mark unhold package_name
and also this link will help:
