*If that is not what you want, then you should change the configuration.
If you only wish to backup /home/foo and /home/bar you have two options:
1) Setup the shares as /home/foo and /home/bar instead of /
2) Setup the share as /home and use the include or exclude option as needed.
If you only need those two directories, then I would just use two shares
to back them up. This also means you would probably not need the
one-file-system option as you are unlikely to mount other FS under these
directories, but I would use it anyway just in case.

OK, so the main thing that was not clear is that you cancelled
immediately because it didn't do what you wanted, I assumed it had
"hung". See above for the solution.
