If you want to exclude more than one entry, then you need to use an
exclude list. Change the dumptype entry to :
exclude list "/var/local/exclude.list"
Then create /var/local/exclude.list *on the client* with your entries in
that file (one per line). Of course, you can put the exclude list file
whereever you want -- /var/local is just an example.
