Description of the issue:
I periodically backup the browser’s global settings/customizations as well as those for every profile I’ve created. Backing up the directory~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser (in Linux) achieves this but it includes the browser’s transient data and caches which are not needed to restore the browser’s configuration from a backup. The current size of these backups is almost 3GB which results in long, wasteful processes.
It would help to have a list of one or both of the following for the global settings/customizations as well as those of the profiles:
- the directories and files needed to recreate the configuration from a backup;
- the directories and files (containing transient data and caches) that can be excluded from the backups of
~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser(or the equivalent in other operating systems).
How can this issue be reproduced?
NA
Expected result:
