quick tip for ubuntu / back in time users

I recently started using Back In Time to automate my local backups on a couple of Ubuntu machines but found an annoying problem. If you have any mounted network shares the backups seem to fail. On further investigation the backup job was not failing but rather trying to scan the entire network share, and then back it up too. To get round this issue simply add ~/.gvfs as an exclusion to the backup set.

This will then stop any mounted drives from being scanned for changes and backed up.
