I'm in the midst of setting up a backup system for my home machine/lan

I don't want to backup unnecessary files so I'm doing dry runs and
looking for patterns to put in an exclude patterns file. I'm wondering
which files in the .evolution directory can be safely not backed up
because they could be rebuilt via imap or otherwise.
Here are some of my candidates:
Anything in .evolution/mail and below?
if not that then what about
.evolution/mail/imap and below?
.evolution/mail/local and below?
.evolution/mail/pop and below? This seems to be full of old
files, I haven't used pop in quite a while.
.evolution/mail/vfolder and below?
.evolution/mail/views and below?
.evolution/secmod.db ?
.evolution/tasks and below?
.evolution/tasks/local and below?
.evolution/tasks/local/system and below?
.evolution/tasks/local/system/tasks.ics ?
I don't want to waste time and space backing up files which can be
recreated after a backup is restored.
