you can also do that in 3.x. It's actually not really "includes" - BackupFilesOnly is emulated by creating includes and excludes that lead to the desired behaviour. After that, BackupFilesExclude is appended to the list, so you should be able to achieve exactly what you want. For Windoze, I believe the syntax is confusing, because you can sometimes specify / as path separator, sometimes \ and sometimes \\ (quoted backslash). Windoze should accept both slash and backslash for file names, but in-/exclude matching may be just string based on either client or server. I never seem to be able to remember how many levels of quoting you need, because I don't use Windoze, but I'm guessing your problem lies there. What exact settings are you using? Hope that helps.
