I can't find anything on the mailing list so I'm guessing its unlikely but -

Any chance someone has assembled a solid BackupFilesExclude for osx Catalina?

The link here has no backuppc content any more: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/How-to-make-Backup-using-Rsync-server-on-Mac-OS


Its looking like I backed up about 15gb of /private that I know I don't need backed up. Its also looking like I should exclude /System/Volumes/Data based on what I'm seeing in the Xfer Error logs.

All in all it looks like I backed up about 25gb that I know I don't need backed up, and the disk usage seems to be growing, probably backing up stuff I'll never need.

---- related question:

any advice on how to delete a backup for a host so I can start over? I'd like to reclaim this wasted disk space. Theres nothing on the wiki(?) and the only things google can find are very old stuff that I'm assuming applies to backuppc v3.

----

If I have to figure it out myself I'll report back but just hoping someone else has been down this path and is willing to share experience.

Love BackupPC what amazing software! I've been using it about 6 months and its like a dream. I almost started down the Bacula path and I'm so glad I went with BackupPC instead.
