Where is the config (application properties) file for TimeMachine settings and the path excludes?
You know, that what you might click and add in TimeMachine Settings > Options ...
Can't find anything in ~/Library/Preferences.
But settings are per user and not system-wide?!
System Command / Library seems to be named com.apple.prefs.backup
ok, found it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
They ARE saved in the Systems-Library Preferences. All user settings are entitled in this file ;/

P.S: According to @M-K's answer the default exclusion list is found under
/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd.bundle/Contents/Resources/StdExclusions.plist
