In case you want to back up directories without their contents these
work for /tmp, /var/tmp, /lost+found and /var/lost+found:

        Options {
            Exclude = yes
            Regex = "^(/[^/]*)*/tmp/.*"
            Regex = "^(/[^/]*)*/lost\\+found/.*"

If you want to exclude the directories themselves as well as their
contents, I understand it is simple but I do not have a tested solution
to share
