Make a Master backup extending over more than tape, excluding nothing.
Make another set.
Make the cartridges read-only.
Put them away for use in disaster recovery.

Then on a daily basis, you can exclude all kinds of directories with
Operating System files which do not change.  (Be careful not to exclude
directories like, say, /usr/bin if you ever find yourself adding files
to them).
