Assuming '/export/home' is your sharename, it should look like this:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
 '/export/home' => [
   '/xyz'
 ],

 '/export/home' => [
   '/abc'
 ]
};

This sets the exclusion specifically for the '/export/home' share.  If
you want it to apply to all shares, or if you only have one share and
want to cut down on typing, you can use '*' instead of the sharename.
