Add folders or file types to ignore
Thanks for this awesome app! Elementary really needs a native backup app and rsync is a great backend. I bought it, you should ask for more than $1 :)
Do you plan to add an optional "ignore list"? This would be very useful to avoid filling up the backup drive.
One of my original POC's included an ignore list like feature. But the UI/UX was very hard to not make complicated. That's how I landed on the "Backup Data" and "Backup Configuration" options.
Would you want to configure this on a per-drive basis since it's about backup size?
I have a games drive mounted at my home folder, but I don't wanted it to get backed up.

Sorry I worded that poorly.
You can have multiple backup targets (external drives etc) in Tardis. Would you expect the ignore list to be configured per backup target or globally or both.
It sounds like globally in your use-case
I'm OK with globally. But that's just my opinion... what ever is easier/friendlier to the user.

You are the user ;)
I will spend some time thinking up designs for this but I have a few ideas already, the UX architect and I will bounce them back and forth.
Thanks for using Tardis and the feature request!
