Each time a backup is ran with the EXCLUDE option, SQL Backup retrieves a list of active databases from SQL Server. It then removes the excluded databases from that list, then proceeds to back up the remaining databases.
You would need to maintain the exclusion list yourself, and add modify the SQL Backup command accordingly. Perhaps the following code snippet might provide some hints on how to do this:
