Ubuntu 13.04.
I am configuring a home folder backup using Ubuntu's built-in backup function and Ubuntu One as the destination.
My home folder is fairly large, and I'm looking for folders that I can exclude without too much of a deleterious effect. That said:
As I understand, Zeitgeist is an activity logger - it has a folder at ~/.local/share/zeitgeist
which is large (~1.1 GB). What would the effects of not backing this folder up and having to run a restore later? Would they ever possibly include being unable to use my data?
For the curious, the other folders I am considering excluding are:
~/Trash (default)
~/Downloads (default)
~/eclipse-kepler (binary package only)
~/.wine (losing this would not hurt my feelings at all)
~/.cache
