Have you tried using two separate 'root' directives? What about just
running the command twice, once for each root?

You mean like this?

root = /etc

root = /var

Either way, /etc is backed up but /var isn't.

The only way that I could run the command twice is to have two config files and then run them at different times. Which seems rather wasteful, and, as they're both owned by $ROOT and need gksudo permission, it makes more sense to have them both in one file, and utilised at one time. That's what I'm aiming for.
