[Box Backup] ExcludeDir/AlwaysIncludeDir does not work

Tried that when reading your (pretty good) documentation, unfortunately 
there is no re_format manpage in Debian, but I think regex lookrounds are 
Perl only.

Thats a good idea but I'll add a new BackupLocation (never change a running 
system, apache and symlinks ;-). I had the same problem with "includes in 
excludes" while tar was doing my backups, so I used multiple files. I only 
thought to omit this extra step when looking at the "AlwaysIncludeDir" 
option.


Thank you for your support and your really good code!
