Probably mostly browser-cache files that don't need to be backed up...
Or checked-out workspaces from the same VCS. Subversion is
particularly bad about space/file usage since it makes 2 copies of
everything in a checkout and you probably do want to back up
uncommitted local changes. If disks weren't cheap it might be worth
looking at zfs or btrfs with block dedup - but you still have to back
it up.
