One more thing which I forgot:
It would be useful to *exclude* certain volumes from a backup set.
For example, we'd like to say
"Backup everything on all disks of server ronald-ann *except* volumes
matching '.nb$' or '^disk."
Volumes named "foo.nb" typically contain things like object trees that
can be regenerated at will from sources. The shell scripts we have
been using for backups recognise these specially.
The same request applies to "vos backupsys" as well.
