Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift?

Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ?

I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage.

100GB - Windows 11
400GB - Storage
400GB - Mint
100GB - TimeShift

my /var doen't have any folder called app. Do you mean /var/lib/flatpak/app?

No, ~/.var/app

Thank You.

I also found /var/lib/flatpak/app has significant storage use, because runtimes are stored there.
