Dear cmakers, I just found a rather disturbing fact on my Mac which leads to entire Xcode projects and everything stored next to them to be excluded from the Time Machine backup:
➜ ~ cmake --version cmake version 3.7.2 CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake). ➜ ~ mkdir yadda ➜ ~ xattr yadda ➜ ~ cd yadda ➜ yadda cmake ../foo -G Xcode ... ➜ yadda xattr . Now open the generated .xcodeproj in Xcode and cmd-B (Build). ➜ yadda xattr . com.apple.XcodeGenerated com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem Because of the com_apple_backup_excludeItem, the entire yadda directory will be excluded from Time Machine backups. I often tweak the Xcode project as I work with it, change compiler settings, add targets etc. I definitely want this to be in my backup. What do you think?
