100% agreed. The build folder is little more than a special-purpose /tmp. The fact that it doesn't get backed up isn't the problem; the problem is that you're putting stuff in there that you care about backing up.

You should not rely on build folders for storing private resources.  Anything that is part of a build should be code managed.

I keep all of my resources outside of the build folder, and then use copy files build phases to copy the resources into the build.

1) the build folder also contains  the  linked and built applications in subfolders ( according to the various build configurations )
Applications are certainly derived from source code, but they also contains various ( and sometimes lot of) private resources that have nothing to do with code management.

2) Obviously , XCode 3.1.1   prevents me from saving what I want.
The build folder is just a folder...   And Time Machine has functionnalities to let me  exclude what I dont  want to backup..
I just dont like something that  pretends to play with my data and decide for me what is worth saving...

The question remains : is there a mean to have the  build folder included in Time Machine backups ?

Sounds like you should be using versioning control of some sort.

Since I use Xcode 3.1.1 , Time Machine no longer saves the "build" folder in backups. This is documented in the XCode release note.

I dont unserstand why and  this causes me some trouble, and  because of this, I have lost previous builds which where important to me....

Is there any mean to have the XCode build  folder included in the time machine backups ?

Thanks
