+`/var/foobar`, and so on.

+Paths that do not start with a `/` are not anchored to the container's root,
+but will match relative to any subdirectory. For example:

+ # vzdump 777 --exclude-path bar
+
+excludes any file or directoy named `/bar`, `/var/bar`, `/var/foo/bar`, and

 Configuration files are also stored inside the backup archive
 (in `./etc/vzdump/`) and will be correctly restored.
