As a developer I often backup my dev environment using this awesome tool.
I've lots of dependencies such as node_modules and other files that are external to my dev projects and which I would like to preserve as zip's if one day I've to restore the project and one of the dependencies is no longer public available.
Currently, I'm excluding all folders that are project dependencies and manually zipping those node_modules.
But automating this task could be extremely useful.
What do you think? Anyone else finding this feature useful?

FFS will gladly sync zip-files for you (at zip-file level).
However, syncing individual files within a zip-file is another matter.
That would involve actually opening zip-files, which sort of defies FFS's file level sync approach.

Hello Pierry. I think this could managed like exceptions.
We could have a similar configuration to generate zips. We type a folder name or a file path and matches would generate individual zip files. I wouldn't go that far by syncing zip content. I would take the zip content and generate a snapshot with a given versioning pattern.
file_20220425_0925.zip or no versioning at all file.zip and in this case the destination file is replaced.
