I am experimenting with jaques 2.4.14 kernel on the Dachstein 
floppy.
The first problem I encountered was at backing up root. 
As far as I found out now, root backs up /var/log too allthough it is 
in the exclude list.
It seems to me that the problem is. a concurrence between
/var/log/ in the include.list and
/var/log/*.log in the exclude.list.
Allthough I understand what this should do, probably the script 
doesn't ;)
