Using / in your disklist will not backup /boot or /online, since
those are separate partitions. If you want all of whats in /online
backed up, and not just whats in /online/backup/storage, then you
need to add /online to your disklist (and either remove the
/online/backup/storage entry, or exclude that path from the /online
entry).
If the only thing in /online that you want backed up is
/online/backup/storage, then it should be working fine as is, but
don't forget when you do a restore you may need to use the setdisk
command to specify /online/backup/storage directory instead of /
so that it can find the files ( a recover from / will only show the
[empty] /onine mount point).
