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
Ignore the folder .var/app In your homedir, I think this should do the trick
my
/vardoen’t have any folder calledapp. Do you mean/var/lib/flatpak/app?No,
~/.var/appThank You.
I also found
/var/lib/flatpak/apphas significant storage use, because runtimes are stored there.
Sorry, I don’t know where flatpacks are installed (probably in /home/user/.local or /var/lib), but i want to nit-pick:
Its directories, not folders.
So, Folders is a Windows term ?
Edit: it just found this
Exactly:)
Ok now I feel bad for being pedantic and to really helping:
flatpacks are installed
~/.local/share/flatpakand/var/lib/flatpak, depending on distro/flatpak installation I think. On my machine they are in~/.local/share/flatpak, but there are people reporting having them in/var/lib/flatpak.Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/comments/f6uq3z/where_are_flatpaksflatpak_apps_installed/
Btw, I’d also exclude
~/.cache(for obvious reasons) and everything out outside of/home.
