Faster than including the files in the backup, yes, but if you delete
the files then do the backup it will be faster than if you just
exclude them.
You know, sometimes I wish that you guys would actually go ahead and
try these things before you pontificate. I know, because I've done it,
that backing up after deleting files is much faster than backing up
the same data by excluding files. Now you can theorise all you like.
But the acid test is the practical one. It IS faster if you delete the
files rather than exclude them.
