You can put kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey (or NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey) to the entire Documents directory just like you would for a single file. However, if you don't want any of the files backed up, you may want to rethink where they should go. The Documents directory is for user data only. If files are stored on your own servers, they should probably go in Caches because they can be downloaded again easily. If the files are only needed for a short period of time, they should go in tmp/.
