I'm trying to give the control of what to backup (and what not to
backup) to my clients.  While keeping the client configuration broad and
"safe" on the server side, if they don't do anything, everything will be
backed up.  But if they only want to backup one directory, or if they
want to backup everything but one directory, they can do so with local
directives.  I know how to do the second case, but I'm not as clear how
to do the first.
