Where are files being saved on a Mac? 10 gigs is a lot.
I want to exclude the location from my local and remote Backups. What is the path?

Thanks.

The path is printed in the client message log, near the start.

Whilst the default is to allow 10GB, the actual use is just a fraction.

Except for a few files in the root BOINC data dir that can help the client to be recognized upon a recovery, all other task work files further in such as the task-slots are rather useless to backup. A restore usually leads to the server telling the client to remove all old jobs and get new ones assigned.
