What I meant to add, but forgot to, is that onefs explicitly tells
Bacula to follow ALL mountpoints. If you're using onefs, your Fileset
would include just /, then exclude what you didn't want. However,
unless you have a LOT of filesystems, this is usually more work than not
using onefs and simply including the list of filesystems you want to
back up.

Also, you don't even need to exclude /tmp, if it's a separate
filesystem (be it tmpfs or otherwise). If you do need to exclude it, do
so as above -- that way you back up the /tmp directory itself, but not
its contents.
