Host Backup with includes vs. excludes

[MH_MUC]

Hi,
is there any possibility to use the pbs for a few directories instead of the whole host and excluding some directories?
I am thinking about using pbs to backup some services running on a pve-node, but I don't want to backup the whole machine, but only certain directories. Possible?

Thanks.

the easiest way is to give multiple pxar archive options to proxmox-backup-client, e.g.

proxmox-backup-client backup etc.pxar:/etc home.pxar:/home ...
