> Like most people, I have been using it for backup of VPSs. I
> have a number of VPSs that generate a large number of files
> that don't need to be backed up. One VPS, for example,
> itself backs up databases by dumping their files. Another
> generates zone files periodically, and so on.
>
> Dumping these VPSs takes a lot of time and disk space. The
> reason I dump them is for their configuration, not for their data.
>
> If it was possible to exclude certain files, either by
> location of by a name spec, or both, from the dump, that
> would be fantastic.

> Just a thought, thank you for your hard work and contributions!
