But would excluding these kind of files prevent me from properly restoring? If not, why would I want to backup temporary files that applications recreate/regenerate after they have been restored?
IGNORE just ignores the output for the report and prevents making the state "STRANGE". Everything that could be backuped, is on tape. But what couldn't because of any reason that isn't on tape and can't, of course, not be restored. But the same is if you exclude something. How you want to restore anything that isn't on tape (because it was excluded)?
Unfortunately I use Debian Lenny and it still uses 2.5.2, so I can't define my own applications.
Compile it by yourself or use a rpm, or deb in your case, for installation. As I remember, in older versions you can just put all on the exclude list.
