Creating a $Conf{BackupFilesFilter} hash analogous to
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} would allow for
more general --filter= rules for the popular rsync transport method.
The general --filter= methodoolgy is very powerful and allows for much

Sometimes you want to save a special backup that for example
corresponds to a specific change (pre/post) on your system. The
trouble is that with exponential deleting there is no way to
guarantee that your specific designated backup won't be deleted
automatically later on.

Les is right for 3.x.
For 4.x the files are not stored in the backup tree. So you'll need to use
BackupPC_ls -R, or you could also grep the XferLOG.nnn.z files (although
the format and what appears or not depends on the XferMethod).
