Re: Automatic `nodump' flag?

I'd like the entire contents of each user's .mozilla/firefox/*/Cache
directory to be excluded from the regular filesystem dumps.

Running ``chflags -R nodump /home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache'' does
the trick, but this needs to be redone daily -- prior to running the
backup -- because new entries appear in the caches, obviously... The
new entries don't have the nodump flag set.

Is there a way, the flag can be set automatically? For example,
inherited from the directory? Thanks!

Hmm, shoudn't whichever backup tool you're using stop when it encounters
a nodump directory? You shouldn't need to set nodump on the files
themselves.
