Is there anyway to customize the Backup option from the System Manager
such that I could make more the current options of "All", "by Date"
and "by Directory"??
What I'd like is to have a combination of "by Date" and "by Directory"
or some way to exclude certain directories. Basically, I'd like to
make it so that my /usr/spool/news and /tmp don't get backed up and
perhaps some other high volume directories that can be rebuilt via
other means.

YES! DITTO! I was getting ready to post the exact same request!
A combination of "By Directory" and "By Date" is exactly what I need.
Now I haven't looked yet, but if the System Manager is written in
PostScript, then Dan and I are both going to look pretty foolish! ;^)
