exclude :  Excludes a file or group of files from backup services and
           space management services (if theTSM HSM client is
           installed). Any file in your client domain that is not
           specifically excluded with this option is considered for
           backup.

exclude.backup :
                Excludes a file or a group of files from normal backup
                services, but not from HSM.

exclude.file.backup:
                Excludes a file from normal backup services.

Hope this is helpfull.
