Time Machine Exclusions

[B0rg]

I am finding that Time Machine is using way too much disk-space for backups. Can anyone enlighten me as to how to make some exclusions on what to backup? I don't see it anywhere, is it even possible? :confused:

Under the Time Machine System Preferences, click the Options button, and you can choose to exclude things. I exclude my podcasts folder for example. And if you have already backed up some of the stuff you didn't want, you can permanatly remove all those files from the Time Machine backup. While navigating Time Machine, go to the present view, and click the little gear icon in the toolbar of the Finder while you have the file you want to delete selected. Simply click the option to Delete all Time Machine backups of this file, and the file will be gone forever.

Hope that helps...

Well I'm a bit embarrassed I missed that. Appreciate the quick response definetheline! Reputation added :)

I excluded my iTunes directory as suggested, as well as my downloads folder. What are other people excluding?
