Assuming you only want to backup that one directory and nothing
else, since all the excludes are outside/above the one directory
you want all you need is:

    $Conf{BackupFilesOnly) = '/opt/zimbra/backup';

Leave $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} empty.

An alternative is to use '/opt/zimbra/backup' for $Conf{TarShareName}
and leave both $Conf{BackupFilesOnly) and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
empty.
