[OSX-Users] Time Machine tip

[Christopher Gutteridge]

I've been trying to get up and running using time machine to back up my 
mac, but the time to do the initial 200Gig means that I would have to 
leave my laptop in one place for a very long time which is very 
inconvenient.

What seems to be working better is to exclude all the big directories, 
and do an initial backup, then add in a few more to the backup each 
time. Un-excluding higher directories on the later iterations, (eg 
/Users/cjg ) but still excluding (/Users/cjg/music)
