I use something like this:

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/var/lib/BackupPC'
];

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  '/var/lib/BackupPC' => [
    '/etc',
    '/log',
    '/.ssh'
  ]
};

(etc and log are usually not stored here, but I've symlinked those dir
to /etc/BackupPC and /var/log/BackupPC so everything in one place).

Cheers, Daniel
