[Box Backup] Exclude Dirs

Hi Chris/Ben,

Hope Xmas & New Year was a good one.

Just a quick question if I may, I backup a server for a client who  
does not wish to backup certain directories.

The structure is like:

/data/shared
/data/shared/apps
/data/shared/apps/archive
/data/mgt
/data/mgt/archive

etc

Is it possible to do a global exclude for the archive directory -  
which could appear under any folder/dir on the server ? without adding  
explicit ExcludeDir = /data/shared/apps/archive etc for each instance ?

I know its possible to regex for files in this way, but was not sure  
if it would work for Dir names ?

Regards
