If you want all of whats in /online backed up, and not just whats in /online/backup/storage, then you need to add /online to your disklist (and either remove the /online/backup/storage entry, or exclude that path from the /online entry). If the only thing in /online that you want backed up is /online/backup/storage, then it should be working fine as is, but don't forget when you do a restore you may need to use the setdisk command to specify /online/backup/storage directory instead of / so that it can find the files ( a recover from / will only show the [empty] /onine mount point).
