Look in the index directory for your config and examine the list of
files it backed up in a level 0 dump.

Certainly you can have both. An "include" effectively says exclude
everything except what I specifically include. In that case, the
excludes only affect what is included. I do not think order matters,
but I would probably put the include first.

I've got two DLEs being backed up over wifi. Their sizes are 11 & 4GB.
After client compression they are 4 and 3GB, that is the size of data
transfered over the wifi. Most recently their dumps took 38 and 29 min,
basically 10 min per GB transferred. YMMV.
