Rust library for backup-invisible files and directories
Marks a given path as excluded from backups. Currently implemented only for Time Machine on macOS.
Applications that create caches and temporary files in non-standard system locations should exclude these from backups to avoid unneccessary I/O churn and backup bloat.
Usage
It's available as a Rust library:
extern crate exclude_from_backups as efb;
efb::exclude_from_backups(&path)?;
or a CLI command:
cargo install exclude_from_backups
exclude_from_backups ~/*/target/release
lib.rs
