One approach to this is to make up several hostnames for your virtual
hosts, using $Conf{ClientNameAlias} to point them to the correct real
host. Then use includes/excludes to specify the directories you want
each to contain and the blackout periods to define the times you do
not want each to be backed up - leaving the window you want for each
so normal scheduling will queue them. Just be aware that if you only
include specific directories you may miss later additions or changes
on the host.
