Snapshots of home directories grow to ridiculous amount due to trash that piles inside of it. Off the top of my head:
- ~/.local/share/docker is 29G of data that continuously mutates.
- Rust/Cargo produce "target" directories in $PWD whenever they run, which is gigabytes of crap littered all over the place.
Keeping snapshots of home would take up a huge amount of disk space, especially if you ever want to keep more than one.
That said, keeping TWO snapshots for 24hs for "un-deleting" files might be an interesting idea.
- accelbred 2y agoI personally only snapshot Documents, Pictures, my git repo dir, etc. Stuff like .cache and podman stuff stays unsnapshotted. I just recommend to others to snapshot home since most people don't want to bother categorizing their data.
