The Agent Bakery creates agent packages in the ~/var/check_mk/agents directory. These files can be easily recreated on demand. At the same time, the size of these packages may be quite large. With this Werk the directory ~/var/check_mk/agents can be excluded from backups as follows:

omd backup --no-agents

Moreover, using omd backup --no-past will also omit ~/var/check_mk/agents directory.

We thank the community for driving this feature.
