It's easy ;-) with rsync instead of rsyncd.
I should not specify $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}.
I have to specify each directory/partition which should included into the 
backup in $Conf{RsyncShareName}
I add --one-file-system to the defaults in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
If you have trouble like "unexpected repeated share name / skipped" be sure 
that "/" is the first in RsyncShareName.

and last but not least: We do not need rsyncd.

Maybee it will work with other configurations too. At least I have some 
troubles and that is my configuration now and it will work for me.
