I'm author of a backup solution for OS X and I'm investigating the purpose

I found the background info here to be interesting (although I haven't
researched this myself, so I can't vouch for its accuracy).

Thanks, Quinn. That's exactly what I was looking for. (Next time
I'll expand my Google search beyond site:apple.com.)
I'm particularly interested in knowing if it contains data that needs to be
backed up, or whether it's cache that should be excluded.
I recommend you exclude it from your backup; otherwise you'll just be backing
up backups.
Agreed.
Happy holidays everyone,
James
