The DOMAIN option defines the (unix) filesystems (i.e. mount points) that
should be included for backup, like /home, /usr, /usr/local a.s.o., or
the logical drives in windows like C:, D:, a.s.o.
If you only want to do incremental backups of some subdirectories, you
can define these directories as virtual mountpoints and then include them
into the DOMAIN, for instance:

VIRUTALMOUNTPOINT /home/project1 /usr/local/lib
DOMAIN /home/projekt1 /usr/local/lib

Hope this helps.
