Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift?

Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ?

I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage.

100GB - Windows 11
400GB - Storage
400GB - Mint
100GB - TimeShift

    I would recommend using Timeshift. BTRFS mode can create local snapshots and rsync mode can be used to backup to external media. Timeshift can exclude directories based on user preferences.

      BTRFS mode can create local snapshots

      So BTRFS can’t create external backups?

        Btrfs can send a snapshot to another machine, but there is no pretty gui for it.

        Most file systems cannot do this.

          How about just another partition on the same disk though?
