Do you really need an object specification? A null object specification
causes an incremental backup to back up all local file systems except
/tmp, which is usually the desired behavior. If you need to exclude
some file systems I would be inclined to put exclude.fs statements in
the include/exclude file rather than specify a list of file systems to
be backed up. In addition to avoiding problems with the length of the
object list, using exclude.fs eliminates the risk of not backing up a
new file system if you forget to modify the object list.
