Is DLE Var a separate file system or a subdir?
Need it, should it, be excluded from the Root DLE?
Are there instances where Var is a subdir, not a file system,
but I want it also backed up under the Root DLE?
If it is automatically excluded and is a mount point, does that
mean the directory /var is not recreated when I restore Root?
If not, then there is no place to mount the restored Var.
Directory "var" is not a part of the var file system.
