What is safe to exclude for a full system backup?
- by seb
Hi,
I'm looking for a list which paths/files are safe to exclude for a full system/home backup.
Considering that I have a list of installed packages.
/home/*/.thumbnails
/home/*/.cache
/home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache
/home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/OfflineCache
/home/*/.local/share/Trash
/home/*/.gvfs/
/tmp/
/var/tmp/
not real folders but can cause severe problems when 'restoring'
/dev
/proc
/sys
What about...
/var/ in general?
/var/backups/ - can get quite large
/var/log/ - does not require much space and can help for later comparison
/lost+found/
