Backblaze skips folder Render Files -- but only sometimes!!! How? Why?

I noticed a 43 GB file I was doing a test restore of from Backblaze came back at about 20 GB. The Render Files folders were missing.

But I recently tested restoring a 1.26 GB FCP library file. And the folder was present!

What's going on? Does Backblaze know about the Render Files folders, and only skips it for large libraries?

This is a mixed blessing, as it speeds up transfers, but re-rendering my main movie takes a very long time due to the fact that I am using noise reduction, and dust and scratch removal.

Can anyone here explain this? TIA.

FCP 10.4.6

macOS 10.14.6

Backblaze 7.0.2.484

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

Checked with Backblaze. They actually do this on their own! I guess they have a table or list of 3rd party folders used for temporary info and don't back them up! I can't believe it. OK.
