a late night thought:
why not intercept the write() system call? if the write is to a file on
the filesystem, keep track of its path in some kernel data structure.
better yet, generate a /proc file with the pathnames of all filesystem
files that were modified by write().
the backup program woul
a few early morning thoughts:
-if booting with CD as source, why not back up anything newer than the
CD creation date? I'm sure there's _some_ combination of actions that'd
break under this(ie. updated *.LRP packages on floppy/HD with files
older than CD's write time, but newer than CD's package)

Maybe you can use this procedure:
build the include and exclude list as you do it now
then check the date of each file on the includelist
if the date is the same as on the CD then add this file to the exclude
list

With this approach all files would have to be listed in the include/exclude
lists - i.e. no wild cards
