Michael thank you very much. This is so awesome. It will simplify significantly using snaps as currently we need to pay careful look whenever they are updated to exclude them from Deja Dup.

mvo, that’s good. But I’m also leery of assuming what apps do with their own space. Not everyone is going to use .cache.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1744584] Re: Exclude Snap .cache from Dejadup backups
The ~/snap/*/*/ structure is currently hardcoded and I'm not aware that any package changes this. So the idea of always excluding ~/snap/*/*/.cache is sensible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1744584 Title: Exclude Snap .cache from Dejadup backups Status in Déjà Dup: Triaged Status in Snappy: New Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The official Backup solution offered by Ubuntu does not support advanced whitelisting/blacklisting of directories.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1744584] Re: Exclude Snap .cache from Dejadup backups
I think it would be reasonable to add an Always-on exclude of ~/snap/*/*/.cache maybe. Doesn’t help for snaps that put their cache somewhere else... but that will get the majority of good actors. I don’t know what canonical’s plan for a program like deja dup to programmatically determine which snap folders are worth backing up / which are not. But we could do this hack until they have something for us to use.
