# This script intend to mimic TimeMachine exclude list.
# As the exclude list can evolve between backups it has to be rebuilt before every backup
# Apple uses 5 types of excludes, four from the /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/StdExclusions.plist file
# and files from applications where metadata says to not backup, these can be found usinf
# sudo mdfind "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'"
