As a workaround for a few files you could use the
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} setting to run gnutar with the -S option
to dump these into a tar file that you would back up, excluding
the originals. Or, if your database has its own way to extract
the key/value pairs to a normal file, that could be even better
in that it may give you a way to restore the data into a different
version of the database.
