Linux-specific information

The following items can be added to exclude lists:

• /dev: contains special and device files which are created by the Linux kernel or an administrator. These files are always recreated during startup.
• /media: removable media are (automatically) mounted here. If you want to backup removable media you have to include a DLE for it in the disk list. Just mounting it here won't include it in the backup.
• /mnt: this directory is for temporarily mounting a filesystem. If you want to backup the filesystem you have to include a DLE for it in the disk list. Just mounting it here won't include it in the backup.
• /proc: contains process and system information which is not persistent but always generated by the Linux kernel.
• /var/cache: contains data that can be regenerated by applications. No data loss may occur if files in this directory are removed.
• /var/run: contains non-persistent information about the system since it was booted. This directory is cleared at the beginning of the boot process.
