The ~/snap/*/*/ structure is currently hardcoded and I'm not aware that any package changes this. So the idea of always excluding ~/snap/*/*/.cache is sensible.

With the introduction of snaps, the cache of the snap apps is stored in ~/snaps /APP-NAME/VERSION/.cache. Unfortunately this means that Deja dup can't be configured to exclude these directories from backups. Since 2009, there have been several requests from the community to add support of advanced include/exclude support in Dejadup but there is no progress. Do you have any plans to provide minimum support for excluding specific snap folders such as .cache?
