TimeMachine backs up too much?

I just discovered the reason why TimeMachine was backing up so much data. I forgot to exclude my Maven and Ivy repositories :o)

Here is a good tip to discover which files are backed up. You need to have the Developer Tools installed.

When TimeMachine backs up

• Launch /Developer/Applications/Instruments
• Select File Activity
• Open the default target combo box and attach the backupd process.
• Start recording
• Enjoy the list.
