    Spitman,

    i have never got a situation to keep the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES in exclude list and keep the required once in include list... since i belive its not a best practice.

    exclude and include list does not have the direct visiblity in the policy configuration and over the period of time it will become complex to answer the question " why this file is not being backup" by the user.

    if you want you can try with the idea that you have.. but as suggested its 100% good idea to go with the specific policy.

why dont you add backup selection as 

C:\ 

E:\backup

Shadow Copy Components:\ 

 System State:\*

when you only what to take the backup of those... rest everyghing will not be consider for backup as they are not specified in backup selection
