The "temporary Internet files" are hardly that. They are permanent files and
are simply a cache of every single web page you visit. They accumulate over
time and are a real pain.

It is a good idea to delete all these files on a regular basis in every
profile on your PC. I usually go into the content.ie5 folder and delete all
the folders in there. I leave the index file there.

I once worked on a computer that had about 5 GB of Internet cache. This
large storage of cache is also a hideout for spyware and other things that
simply bog down your PC. After I deleted all this cache, the PC started to
perform much better.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Excluding "Temporary Internet Files" to avoid
logerrors

I just included an additional share to be included into the backups on an XP
machine (c/Documents and Settings/Juergen - my own directory on my wifes PC,
backups are done by the user Juergen) and got flooded with messages in the
error log of the type:

Remote[1]: rsync: readlink_stat("Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files/Content.IE5/1F5UL...snip...SQWQ.jpg" (in docs-juergen)) failed: 
File name too long (91)

Checking some time later, I did not find these files. I assume that these
files are temporarily created during the backup process.

Question 1: is this right?

I then did some googling and found a reference to the BackupPC wiki which
gives valuable suggestions for exclude files:

http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/Common_backup_excludes

- but I had not found the corresponding item in the index of the wiki (left
frame).

Question 2: is this a problem of my browser (I had tried with firefox and
with konqueror) or is there a problem in the wiki, for instance that it cuts
off the lower part of the index in the left frame?

I had planned to add exclude lists "some time later" - that is apparently an
important and urgent issue.
