Time Machine Exclusions - Snow Leopard
A bit late, but here's an update of the Time Machine exclusion list for Snow Leopard.Here's the full list of the excluded paths:
Contents Excluded
The contents of these paths are excluded, but the directories themselves are preserved as they are required for a successful restore. Remains the same as in Leopard.
/Volumes /Network /automount /.vol /tmp /cores /private/tmp /private/Network /private/tftpboot /private/var/automount /private/var/run /private/var/tmp /private/var/vm /private/var/db/dhcpclient /private/var/db/fseventsd /Library/Caches /Library/Logs /System/Library/Caches /System/Library/Extensions/Caches
These folders are excluded pre 10.5.something [Does anyone know when these came about?]
/private/var/log /private/var/folders /private/var/log/apache2 /private/var/log/cups /private/var/log/fax /private/var/log/ppp /private/var/log/sa /private/var/log/samba /private/var/log/uucp /private/var/spool

These directories and their contents are excluded completely. Remains the same as in Leopard.
