Description of problem: Please add exclusion paths to the backup. Both tar and rsync handle excludes. Here is a real world example: I want to backup my /var/lib directories because they contain stateful information, like my mysql databases. However, I also use this system to build for mock. This currently uses 2.4G of space (cached build roots) - and since they are cached, they are recreated whenever needed. If I want to backup /var/lib/ and skip mock, I have to add: + /var/lib/a + /var/lib/b + /var/lib/c + /var/lib/d etc etc. to the backup set. It would be much nicer to be able to add: + /var/lib - /var/lib/mock Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fwbackups-1.43.0-0.1.beta2.fc6
