fortunately it is not in my power to discuss choice of the developper my 
only job is to try to figure a way to make backup of the thing work :)

i am sure most know the pain, i allready strive to exclude caching 
directory because devs seems to invent new way to name them every two 
days (temp temporary temporaire <enter your custom name> cache mycache 
appli-cache img-cache  variation with plurals...).


the backuppc server has 16Gb of ram so on the server side it should be 
okay memory wise. on my monitoring i never go under 5gb free (but i only 
have  the data every 5 minutes).


regards,
Jean.
