What's about backing up the root folder and exclude folders which are should
not backed up?

If you use rsync you can also modify the rsyncd.conf on client-side (your
server) during $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd}.

rsyncd.conf:
[DynamicFolders]
 path = /whereverTheRoot
 exclude = *
 include = /whereverTheRoot/dynFolder1 /whereverTheRoot/dynFolder2 ...
