You may just set the attribute of a folder and not bother with individual files.

According to apple:

Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new “do not back up” file attribute has been introduced 
allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up, which 
files are local caches only and subject to purge, and which files should not be 
backed up but should also not be purged.

In addition, setting this attribute on a folder will prevent the folder and all 
of its contents from being backed up.
