I use Apple's Time Machine to make incremental backups of my hard drive. I just started participating 2 hours ago. BOINC shows about 30 MB devoted to this project. I expect this space to grow with time since I've set my max hard drive allocation at 50 GB. Since these files are presumably constantly changing, I could potentially chew up a lot of space on my backup drive.

I would like to exclude my BOINC files from my backups -- does anyone know the file names or locations so that I can add them to Time Machine's exclusion list?

Thanks.
