2010-12-31 11:39:52 ceg description Please add firefox cache files to the exclusion list: /home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache /home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/OfflineCache I intentionally included /home/ because it should also work when BiT does a system backup as root. The ~/ pattern points only to one path (in this case /root). Others: /home/*/.VirtualBox/HardDisks /home/*/.VirtualBox/Machines/*/Logs /home/*/.VirtualBox/Machines/*/Snapshots Please add exclusion entries for firefox cache files to the default exclusion list: /home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache /home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/OfflineCache I intentionally included /home/ because it should also work when BiT does a system backup as root. The ~/ pattern points only to one path (in this case /root). There are actually different types of files to exclude. Some entries can be excluded from backup altogether (cache files, thumbnails etc.) others should be excludeable from older snapshots but the file should still always be present in the backup (the last snapshot). Files of this type are repository files of versioning systems (cvs,svn,bazaar,...) and databases. *,v for example should catch rcs files which should be in the backup, but not always in different versions. Other exclusion entries that could be available but deactivated by default: /home/*/.VirtualBox/HardDisks /home/*/.VirtualBox/Machines/*/Logs /home/*/.VirtualBox/Machines/*/Snapshots
