That's great, thanks.  The manual is a little unclear on the effect of this
though (except to point out that you lose guarantees).

If, for example, I exclude "c:\pagefile.sys", will that exclusion be
completely ignored until the next scheduled full backup (ie will it keep
backing it up until then)?

If you're using accurate incremental backups and run a virtualfull, is that
equivalent to a full for these purposes, or does a real full backup have to
be run?

Many thanks for your help,
Gavin
