Hello, I am looking to implement enabling a setting for Virtualbox to automatically set the "com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem" xattr for newly created disk images, most probably hooked into the global/per-VM extradata somewhere under the VboxInternal tree. This xattr will cause time machine to ignore the file when backing up, without having to manually add the directories where Virtualbox is storing the images.
Why don't I just add ~/Virtualbox\ VMs to the exclusion? Because there's some applications which integrate kicking off a VM for testing, and the images are stored next to the rest of the application state. Looking through the source tree, the change looks to be straightforward, but I don't want to take the time to make a patch if this feature wouldn't be considered for inclusion. Thanks!
