I'm scheduling my backups with Deja Dup and I'd like to know if hidden folders in the home directory, such as .thunderbird, will be included in my backups?

My question comes from the fact that my home folder size is 30Gb big, whereas my latest backup is smaller than 400Mb, so I have doubts.

Ubuntu 14.04

Thanks!

It indeed is included. If you want to exclude them, simply edit the dconf database value for exclude-list in org/gnome/deja-dup to include $HOME/.* as one of the exclusions. The * operator means "All", which ensures that any hidden directory, or in other words, any directory whose name starts with ., is excluded.
