I'm just a Mac user that uses TSM. I just back up the Users directory on my
machine and some other machines that I help manage. If I have a hard drive
crash, I'll just reinstall all the aps. On my machine, TSM inspects around
55,000 files every time it backs up.
I started with the include/exclude items given in the "TSM System Preferences -
Sample" file.
It appears that Norton/Symantec has changed its file names a bit, so I removed
the 3 Norton lines and added "Exclude "...:Norton*"
I also noticed that LOTS of cache files were being backed up. So I added
Exclude.dir ...:...:Cache*
Exclude.dir ...:...:.Cach*
Finally, I notice lots of trashed files being back up. The sample contains a
"Exclude.dir ...:.Trashes" line. Is this a typo?
I added a "Exclude.dir ...:.Trash" line since that is the name of the directory.
