Hello, it's nice to see a reply, even after 3 years !
I explained a simple workaround in the bug description :
"As a workaround I tried (with déjà-dup settings) to override ~/.steam/root by explicitly listing it in "Folders to save".
It doesn't work !
=> 2/ Is it possible to allow this kind of manual override ?"
To put it simply : let the user have the "final cut" about what to backup. Don't hide default exclusions.
I understand you don't want to code it, fine.
But if you care a bit about ubuntu users (as far as I know, deja-dup is still ubuntu official backup tool), you should put a BIG warning (somewhere it can't be missed : in deja-dup settings ?) saying :
"This software is NOT recommended for steam users. It will NEVER backup your steam data, including save files"
