To optimize backups on Ubuntu, I need to know what files and directories can be skipped.

Mozilla has a nice documentation of the Firefox profile folder. Is such a page available for Opera? The closest I could found is How to Migrate Opera Settings , but it's not that extensive. For example, what is temporary_downloads for? Holding downloads until these are completed?

Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately, it does not really answer my question. The first link explains nicely what the temporary_downloads does, the second basically says "copy the whole profile folder", which I want to avoid as it contains useless directories like Cache. The third is similar to the "How to Migrate Opera Settings" link in my question. – Lekensteyn May 8 '11 at 13:20
