I have to ask why, because it's not clear to me.

In fact on one of my systems I have directories I would like to backup
but have mounts below them (which I don't necessarily want to backup and
could exclude if that works).

Cheers,

Martin.

PS. I wrote half an email on why I like'd Adrian's description of
setting a 'restore time/date' when Ben's reply came through saying he's
planning that anyhow. So I stopped. This is just a 'me too' for
encouragement. ;)
