yes (could also be another dir, I´m not sure ATM), but unfortunately,
we don´t have direct access to amanda as the setup comes from our ISP.
We are only able to specify a exclude list =(

Using a single include would also mean that I had to adopt the list
each time we add or remove a domain (the server hosts several domains
for our customers).
