You can modify your disklist and add exclude statements to your DLE,
something like
myhost.some.domain / / {
root-tar
exclude append "./dev"
exclude append "./home"
...
} 1
Probably it also makes sense to exclude other directories that don't
need to be backed up, for example "./tmp", "./var/run", "./var/cache"
and the like.
Don't forget to setup another DLE for /home if you haven't done yet.
