I think having the option is a good thing. And I already have a usage
scenario for this. For example when people temp. download big iso
images, I don't want them to show up in backup. And they don't have
necessary the extens 'iso'.

Have you thought over an option to tell bbackupd to stay on *one*
filesystem?

Have you thought about backing up Device Files?

Does boxbackup handle ACLs already correctly?

Is there are any reason not to support backing up a root filesystem of a
system?

Thanks,
