I want to take regular backups of my web development project files but would like to ignore not so important files like images, vendor files, etc. There is a way to exclude folders but how to exclude by file type?

    It seems like you [can't exclude them based on the extension](https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/374274). – wjandrea Dec 16 '16 at 02:32

    You might consider using `rsync` instead. – wjandrea Dec 16 '16 at 02:34
  • You can `save` or `ignore` only at the folder level. – heynnema Dec 17 '16 at 01:37
  • @wjandrea: i don't think so, since `rsync` is just for syncing files and not for a backup! - there is a difference between these two tasks. **--** and by the way: `deja-dup` is rather a GUI-application and `rsync` has a CLI only; although there is with `grsync` a rudimentary GUI. – DJCrashdummy Jun 18 '17 at 18:46
  • but `rsnapshot` is for making backups: it is based on `rsync`, folders, files and file types can be ex-/included but it has still a CLI only. but there are some GUIs based on it like `backintime`... – DJCrashdummy Jun 18 '17 at 18:48
