Reply:

I usually look at the proble of backup and archive
differently.  Archive is done through commands in the
scheduler which could be specific to a file systems.
Iam sure you would agree that an archive should be for
a full file system. include/exclude list or subdir=yes
may not give much problems.  Incidentally
include/exclude list can have reference to management
class, so that in combination of the name of
management
class in the definition and the command the filtering
can be done. Hope the above urgent reply ! makes some
sense.
