Optical Library

I have about 8 gig of CD images (.iso files) in my /var/vio/VMLibrary that I do not want going to into the backupios backup. I save the backup on my NIM server and now this VIO server's backup is WAY bigger than my others.

I want..nay "need"... to exclude the /var/vio/VMLibrary from the backupios command. I have all the physical media so I'm not worried about losing the .iso images.

How would I go about getting /var/vio/VMLibrary to be excluded from the backupios backup?
