(Get the code!)
Having considered the table exclusion idea for a while, I believe it would work, but, without a bitmap file format change, it's IMHO too dangerous to be included in the trunk. The reason is that it would be impossible to tell from a bitmap file that it's missing some table change data. If some changes to the skipped tables do happen for any reason, then using such bitmap would result in a silently broken backup.
I am considering the above change with a bitmap file format change, and other fix options.
Should you want to implement the table skip option anyway for your in-house needs, it should be a simple implementation and we could review it for other issues even if we wouldn't merge it to trunk.
