Re: [flexbackup-help] What not to back up, and how to exclude it, on a Windows box?

Your settings may be a bit different or just the way of seeing things, but I
feel that no matter what you'd have to reinstall windows and every program
installed. I would thus only backup desktop,my documents/user folder and any
other folder created to hold your data. Most programs can be customized to
save their data in a specific spot, make it a folder that gets backed up.

There is a large amount of data, some of which is probably completely
pointless to back up - notably some designated as temporary, as well
as making a level 0 backup take a very long time.

I am therefore wondering what should be excluded/pruned from the
backup, as things currently stand.

What are the best exclude/prune settings for this scenario?
