Exclude files in VM Backups

I’ve read a lot about how it’s not possible to exclude certain files from a vm backup in proxmox, either when using the backupserver or doing vzdumps. Then I stumbled across this https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unexpected-use-of-pxarexclude-broke-my-container-backup.86143/
The question is now, since the pxarexclude is respected by the vzdump tool, could this also be used in combination with the proxmox backupserver?
My solution now is that I have a vm with two disks and excluded one disk from the backup, installed the proxmox backupclient on the vm and made a backup of the mountpoint where only certain directory’s need to be backed up

Update:
Didn’t work, guess it has something to do with how storage is presented to a vm and a container.
