Hi Daniel.
Actually, I have a couple of customers with this very request. Both have few apps which need to be backed up daily, while most databases can be saved once a week.
And what about the need of backing up different folders? As far as I now at the moment there is no way to run backup against two or more folders with one single command, so you need to backup one, wait for the task to complete, start a new backup, wait... and so on
Backup usually is intended to run scheduled and should most times backup all databases, which are not excluded.
So the focus has been on providing very flexible exclude operations, which can be extended or even overwritten on command-line.
The excludes fully support wildcards.
.ind files are great for planned maintainance operations. But for backup most times the exclude pattern makes more sense.
So what happens if new directories or databases are created?
They would not be backed up by default!
That's a risk, that a backup admin should not take.
I would really like to understand why you need an include instead of an exclude option in your case.
