well, why don't you do that?

Assuming your statement was meant as a question and I'm guessing the correct
question(s), you should either

1.) look at the rsync man page for the syntax of rsync excludes (BackupPC
    uses the excludes verbatim and in the order you specify them, in case
    you were wondering),
2.) look at the main config file for how to make excludes apply to a certain
    share, or
3.) rest assured that that is possible.

I *could* quote the man page and config file verbatim, but that's unlikely
to help you. If you don't understand part of the explanation in these
sources, you're going to have to be more specific about what you don't
understand. You're unlikely to find anyone here prepared to rephrase both
of these documents in the hope of maybe making one point more clear for
you.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Holger

P.S.: I've got a spare ")" and you seem to be missing one. Take mine.
