[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1588480"] Time Machine backs up everything. After that, it simply backs up everything that has been modified by the user in the intervening time since the last backup. Some apps (particularly VMs like Parallels) "touch" very large files frequently, so that gets backed up nearly every time you run Time Machine! Excluding VMs and the other exception you noted is a good move. Those who use iTunes Match ($25/year, a number of benefits attached) can skip backing up their iTunes library (well the music part anyway), as you've essentially got an iCloud backup. [/QUOTE]
