Such a document for Unix probably doesn't exist... I am not aware of any
function in Unix that is analogous to the "FilesNotToBackup" registry key
in Windows.

Just to be clear... the document you cited is with regard to files that
the Windows client omits by design, which is not related to the flash
cited in the original post on this thread.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
