Normally you would only use the sharenames as the starting points of what you
want to back up and it defaults to including everything. It doesn't make much
sense to tell the client to walk the whole directory tree when you only want a
specific directory. But the way it is used depends somewhat on the xfer method.
If you use rsyncd (or smb), it has to match a module configured on the client,
while it can be any directory with rsync or tar. Also, I think some of the xfer
methods can't handle both include and exclude lists.

I understand that it defaults to include everything. But the parameter 
'BackupFilesOnly' allows the administrator (or a user - shudder the thought) to 
narrow that definition. If BackupPC simply ignores this value unless it is 
entered again in a different location this is a very loose interface.

I don't intend to sound terse toward those reaching out to help me; only point 
out that any newcomer to this program is going to hit this same wall every 
time. According to the documentation I am using the parameters correctly based 
on my transfer method (rsync). Where is the best place to open a bug or 
wishlist item for BackupPC?
