Verbatim from the Admin Guide:-

1) When you exclude files from individual backup jobs, the exclusions do not affect any of the other backup jobs in the related backup definition. The job-level exclusions also do not affect any of your other backup definitions. The exclusion applies only to the backup job to which you apply it. You cannot apply a job-level exclusion to Full backups.

2) When you exclude files from backup definitions, the exclusions do not affect any of your other backup definitions. The exclusions apply only to any jobs in that backup definition.

Use Backup-Level Exclusion for Scenario A and C.

Use Job-Level Exclusion for Scenario B and D.
