Why were some files I wanted to back up left out of the archive? I didn't specify them to be excluded in the Preferences window.

There are exclusions built into the backup engine in Impression that exclude Impression itself as well as the directories: /automount, /dev, /etc, /tmp, /var and the files /.vol, /mach, /mach_kernel and /mach.sym. These are system files/device files and Impression simply can't consider archiving them reliably.
