Chrome Code cache causing file backup errors and super long backups

1

Been having issues with the server, looks like chrome is doing something new with the Code Cache location and tons of temp files are getting included.

I’ve done a global exclude on the path for file backups ;*/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Code Cache/*

Mac too: ;*/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/*

Hope it helps someone else, I’m expecting Edge to start having issues at some point in the future as well.

If you have multiple Chrome Profiles, the paths are like this:

c/Users/user/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Code Cache/js/a9b219f3946b7821_0"
c/Users/user/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 1/Code Cache/js/a9b219f3946b7821_0"
c/Users/user/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 2/Code Cache/js/a9b219f3946b7821_0"
c/Users/user/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 3/Code Cache/js/a9b219f3946b7821_0"

Is ;*/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/*/Code Cache/* valid?
