# Any path specified in vsinclude is added to the include list for each vserver

# e.g. vsinclude = /home will backup the /home partition in every vserver
# on the system. If you have /vservers/foo, /vservers/bar and /vservers/baz
# this vsinclude will add to the include list /vservers/foo/home, 
# /vservers/bar/home and /vservers/baz/home
# Included vservers are derived from listing all vservers in $VROOTDIR (suggestions
