Just test it and it seems to work. So no longer schedule per included
directory. Use profiles instead.

Status in Back In Time: Fix Committed
Bug description:
The classic example of this is when Back In Time backs up your desktop.
For example.
I create a file called 'foo' on my desktop to write some quick notes in.
I create a snapshot, and '~/Desktop/foo' is now stored in 'Snapshot1'.
I delete 'foo' from my Desktop, as I no longer need the file.
I create another snapshot 'Snapshot2'. 'Foo' is still listed in 'Snapshot2' as
a file (although obviously it hasn't changed).
For each snapshot that is taken after this, 'foo' will always be listed as a
file in the snapshot, and never removed from the series of backups.
What should happen is, 'foo' should be stored in 'Snapshot1', but should not be
stored in 'Snapshot2'.
When 'Snapshot1' is deleted (either manually or automatically), 'foo' is no
longer backed up through back in time, as it no longer exists on the system.
The only current workaround I have found, is manually deleting the files I want
to be removed from snapshots, so they are not included in the next sync.
