I don't quite understand the problem being described, but a couple of
things to add to what Richard said:

- If you do not exclude a file or directory from backup, then it is
implicitly included. If you want to include some file or directories for
backup, and exclude everything else, then you need to specify something
like this:

   exclude *
   include /dir1/.../*
   include /dir2/.../*
   include /home/andy/.../*

- The "exclude" statement excludes file objects from backup, but directory
objects are still backed up. For example:

   exclude /home/andy/.../*

excludes all files in /home/andy, but backs up directory entries
under /home/andy such as /home/andy/dir1, /home/andy/dir2,
and /home/andy/temp

To prevent the backup of everything in /home/andy, including directory
entries, do this:

   exclude.dir /home/andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
