jotrago Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Retrospect has a selector with a default set of exclusions for windows. I set about creating one for Ubuntu Linux Workstations. I found this very useful article on AskUbuntu, and used it as my base. This is my Exclusion list, you may well need to tune it a bit for your own situation Folders .gvfs.cache*.Trash**trash*.thumbnails.dropbox and / or your favourite Web Storage(s)/tmp/ Folders &/ Files cache*thumbnails* Files *.backup**~*Thumb.db Selector File Attached 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jotrago Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Many Linux distros include the Disk Usage Analyzer app. Use this to scan your intended backup folders and inspect the results for exclusion candidates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
