I do exclude /var/cache/portage (where I moved the portage tree since it |
| 18 |
is really cache, not application, data). It can easily be restored from |
| 19 |
public servers, so you don't need to make private backups of it, unless |
| 20 |
you want to save download time. That's not even an issue if you're doing |
| 21 |
the backups over the Internet. You especially don't need the distfiles. |
