### Exclude node_modules from Backblaze backups on Mac
Note that this does not remove existing `node_modules` folders that have been backed up.

1. Edit the file at `/Library/Backblaze.bzpkg/bzdata/bzexcluderules_editable.xml`.
2. Add this rule inside the `bzexclusions` tag:

```xml
<!-- Exclude node_modules. -->
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/node_modules/" contains_2="*" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />
```
