Is it possible to configure the pbm agent to exclude some databases from the logical backups? e.g. the `admin` database.

hey @nelson_johnstone

currently, it is not supported. there is a ticket with what you are asking: [[PBM-798] Allow to exclude collection from PBM backup - Percona JIRA](https://jira.percona.com/browse/PBM-798)  
Please track its progress status.
