I totally agree. Version control is the way to go even for individual
developers. Setting up an SVN repository is trivial and that is what
needs to backed up not the workspace which by definition is transitory.

I think the only (roundabout) way to deal with this problem in
Eclipse right now is to use svn:ignore (or something similar
depending on your version control system) for derived artifacts so
they don't get committed and backup the version control system repos
(assuming you use a version control system).
If not using a version control system and doing regular copy the
workspace for backup, then I would say the best way to remove the
derived bloat from the workspace before backup would be to turn off
build automatically, do a clean all, possibly supplemented by a
"clean" target in the ant build.xml that deletes any other bits that
the regular clean all does not do. Seems like a pain to do this.
Another alternative might be to just use a high compression archiver
like bzip to minimize the size of the workspace backup ...... that's
what I used to do in my early "lone programmer" non-subversion days.
If not using a team version control system, you could always just
have a local subversion repository on your hard drive (simple to set
up and use BTW) that gets backed up and use svn:ignore to prevent
the derived garbage from going in there.
YMMV,

Dear List,
WOLips: "build" and "bin" outside of workspace?
In order to keep our workspace lean for backups, is it possible to
keep these derived contents out of the workspace directory. In
XCode, you could specify separate "Built" and "Product" directories.
That would be a great benefit to us. Thanks.
