Including with Time Machine
A while ago I’ve filed a radar because I am not backing up my whole system through Time Machine but just my home folder. Right now that means you have to manually exclude quite a list of folders. Today the issue got rejected because “the idea of Time Machine is too back up everything”. I have nothing against feature creep – but this is ridiculous. If you agree with me here please also file a report.
Summary:
There is no way to specify what to backup as an “Include” expression. I only want to backup my home folder through Time Machine. Now I have exclude all the folders manually and leave only my home folder to be included.Steps to Reproduce:
Go to the Time Machine preferences. Click on “Options”. You can only select folders to include.Expected Results:
Have a selection box below to “include” / “exclude” the folders above. Wildcards -not just folders- would actually be nice as well.
