Maybe you could set all your projects to place build files into one

to set TM not to backup each and every build directory, but that

I most definitely agree with Daniel, TM should have much better
backup options. You, IMO, should always be able to specify what you
want backed up. Not just what you don't want backed up.
I filed this back before Leopard was released.
I'm going to file a bug as well once, especially since we all know
that the more bugs that get filed the more likely it is to get
addressed. I'm hoping Apple will address this one with a 10.5
update, and not make us wait till 10.6.
It's almost certain they won't add significant functionality during
10.5's lifetime. First, they'll want to consider all their options
and decide which they think is best. "They" refers to what is
effectively a committee, so there you go. Second, new features
require a more resources for implementation and testing. Third, if
they do it for Leopard it's one less new feature they can use to sell
Leopard+1.
File the request, though, or you won't see it until 10.7. ;-)

I've just realized that Time Machine (TM) seems to be backing up

particularly thinking about the .o files, but I'm sure there are
others. If checked for a simple "Hello World" program that main.o
appears in my TM backup.

Am I missing something here, or should I just file a bug against
this?
John.
I would personally love to see TM have MUCH more options to which
files it includes or does not include, I just haven't gotten
around to filing a bug report yet. Personally I would love to see
full file globbing of what to exclude AND include (There are some
people I would prefer to backup just their /Users folder yet
exclude /Users/*/Music. regexp would be even better because we
could better handle things).
So yes, I would file a bug report. Hopefully I'll get one filed
in the next few days as well.
My 2 cents.
Daniel
