I don't think that is true with the proposed File = "\\|..." forms.  The
fileset only "changes" when you edit the text of the fileset definition, not
when the script finds different files.

This problem occurs with the excluding approach too, but is solved by using
the Accurate backup options (it compares the filenames as well as using the
timestamps).
