Hi,
I have been experimenting with btrfs send/receive for incremental backups, but
could not figure out how to exclude certain directories from
subvolumes/snapshots. For example, I want to backup my data in home, but I am
not interested in backing up hidden directories like .cache too.
Is it

Simplest way to do it is to make the directories that you don't want to
replicate be separate subvolumes. I do this to keep from replicating
copies of snapshot directories.
Example:
mv /home/GEO/.cache /home/GEO/.cache.tmp
btrfs sub create /home/GEO/.cache
cp -a --reflink=always
