Hi, we want to configure Time Machine so that it does not back up Fusion Snapshots since those files are so huge. Does anyone know what the extension of Snapshot files are so we can exclude them from our backups?

Thanks!

You can tell TimeMachine not to back up certain files, directories. To do this goto

SystemPreferences->TimeMachine->Options

You will see an 'exclude from backup' window. Just add your files here.
