 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the awesome plugin.
 * I was testing this plugin and did the installation steps and authorizing the 
   app with my DropBox account.
 * However, when i checked the backup log i was surprised to see that the folders
   and files which were not selected were being uploaded.
 * I noticed text that the selection was to exclude files and not include them.
 * I undertand that we need to backup non-core files within wp-content and settings
   like .htaccess wp-config.php and it was a pain excluding others.
 * I was wondering if making that option to include instead of exclude, would make
   selection easier. Just a suggestion.

 * Thanks for your suggestion. However it is easier for people to forget to include
   then excluded. So an exclude widget is safer for the novice user.
 * Cheers,
