Restoring from a backup is a terrible solution. I make nightly backups of my databases but loosing a days worth of data will make me very unpopular. Likewise losing all the emails in an imap mailbox would make me equally unpopular. I think for me it's best to just move user data outside /opt/local. I already moved it all to a subdir of /opt/ local/var I should have just moved it outside /opt/local altogether and I wouldn't be worried about find $prefix -exec rm commands.

If it's all in $prefix/var, just run a find command for bin, etc, include, lib, and share.

Good idea.

I couldn't manage to get find -path '/opt/local/var' -prune to work but ! seems to work.

sudo find /opt/local \( ! -path "/opt/local/var/*" -a ! -path "/opt/ local/apache2/*" -a ! -path "/opt/local/www/*" \) -name *.mp_*

I think these are two other directories that some of the ports may park user files like some of the web frameworks that allow user uploads.
