[BackupPC-users] Another issue with $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}

Yohoo!

sorry to bother you, but I've another question regarding this statement.

If I now ommit the "--one-filesystem-only" on rsync it'll backup
everything including /proc and /sys, right?

Ok, so I want to have a global exclude statement to get rid of these
folders. Like this:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [
        '/tmp',
        '/proc',
        '/srv'
];

So this should work perfectly.
But when I want to exclude some folders on different host which should
be backed up on others (i.e. /srv) how should this work?

Let's say I want to exclude the above folders globally, but on one
server there are two folders named /srv/useless and /srv/important where
I want to backup only the important one.
Using BackupFilesExclude as above will not backup my important folder.
Now my idea was to use $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}, but:

# List of directories or files to backup.  If this is defined, only
# these directories or files will be backed up.

For a single host it would be ok. Just remove the /srv from above and
use /srv/useless instead. But as far as I can see I have to create a
rule as above for each host seperately, as the global settings will be
overwritten once there is aper hosts entry found.

Any ideas on this? Are my thoughts correct?
