New question #139526 on Simple Backup:

In this i want NOT to save my data from the directory .VirtualBox cause i do not need those virtual machines saved.
Normally i choose the complete home-directory to save and pick those dirs that i don't need (downloads, dropbox, ..)
But in the dialog 'not to save' i can only select normal files or directorys - no hidden directorys; so my backup goes real big with some virtual machines in it.

Next problem ist, with some snapshot from those virtual machines and a bit of working with it, the incremental updates also goes real BIG...
