Use the Cache Directory Tagging Specification for the preview cache directory. This is also supported by GNU Tar and Restic to exclude directories from backups.
The previews are generated from data the server already has so they don't need to be in backups. This can help to reduce backup sizes for Nextcloud.
Perhaps people would like to keep backups of their preview cache? This could be made configurable.
Also, I think this may require a change in the server as well.
Are you a developer willing to implement this feature?: yes. I may pick this up in a bit.
