Rsync keeps telling me that my Linux Mint installation is too big to backup on into my TrueNAS machine. And the culprits are my Steam games, especially Cyberpunk 2077 at 66 GB. fml

    Yes, there are several options for excluding files and directories. There’s the --exclude option to exclude a file or directory. There’s also the --exclude-from option that lets you specify a file that contains a list of files and directories to exclude.

    There’s not much point in backing up games that are easily downloaded again. Just backup the saves and settings.
