I recently ran into this problem as well. You can use the command:

Code: Select all

iphoneSetDoNotBackupFile "filename", true
To stop a specific file from being backed up. If you loop over all of the files in the documents and set this property on them, you should be good to go.

Let me know how that works for you.
