How to stop Time Machine backing up log files inside application containers?


Time Machine does not backup log files in ~/Library/Logs


But it does backup logs files within application containers. For example, log files in the folder ~/Library/Containers/http://ift.tt/1uqVs2H.


My Mail and OneDrive logs are currently adding about 2 GB per backup.


I could manually exclude each of ~/Library/Containers/*/Data/Library/Logs but that is a lot of exclusions and would be a list which needs addition whenever I install a new app.


The ~/Library/Containers/* folders were introduced to support sandboxing applications, but Time Machine seems to have not kept up with these changes.


Is there a better way of telling Time Machine to not backup the /Log folders within Containers?


I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
