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

Everything outside of your home dir? This will prevent applications and logs and configuration to be backed up.

You can use ncdu cli to see which dirs take the most space.
