Hi, using HA for a while my backup became over 6GB in size but after downloading the .tar and checking its contents I see that around 40-45% of that are Jellyfin metadata and zigbee2mqtt logs, is there any way to exclude certain paths/directories/filetypes during backup? It does not make any sense to me that I backup 3GB of Jellyfin metadata or 1GB of logs 🤨 I don't want to skip /share directory as a whole because I have few addons that store crucial configuration there.

try to do a manual backup, you will have the option to select what you want to backup, can also be configured in automatic backups.
as mentioned you can change the settings of the auto backup
change the addons from "All" to "Custom" then you can select which addons you want to include which will allow you to skip jellyfin for example
But of course I want to backup all of the configurations, just without log files, temporary files, meta data files etc. etc. Just like in rclone/rsync where you define list of files/paths to be omitted from copy.
I don't think you can specify specific directories to ignore
