Have in mind that daily backup will expire all excluded files/dirs. As
result verd/reto settings will apply and you may lose data.
The exclude will work correct only in case all data from "old" server is
copied into *.old dir on a "new" server.

Also note this will exclude SYS:DIR1.OLD but not DATA:DIR1\DIR2.OLD. You
may need
exclude.dir *:\...\*.old
