Excellent points on checking the logs to see everything that got backed
up and the why of what didn't.

Include lists, though, don't behave in that manner.  Includes apply
_only_ to the universe of what was excluded by an applicable exclude
list.  The exclude list _only_ applies to the universe of what was
selected in the selection list.

Since this comes up from time to time, I put together what I hope is an
illustrative demo for those who haven't indulged in exclude/include
lists before.  Oh, and replace "include list" with "exceptions to the
exclude list" if you're a Windows person--that's the new naming in
NetBackup 6.  First s/kill/cancel, then s/include list/exceptions to the
exclude list/.  The dumbing-down continues...
