       exclude.rootvg uses a grep matching format. You
    want to include the start of line character to ensure
    you don't exclude /randomapp/home as well.

    ^./home

    Here's the excerpt:

        For example, to exclude the contents of the directory called /tmp, and
    avoid
        excluding any other directories that have /tmp in the pathname, edit the
        exclude file to read as follows:
             ^./tmp/

        All files are backed up relative to . (current working directory). To
        exclude any file or directory for which it is important to have the
    search
        match the string at the beginning of the line, use ^ (caret character)
    as
        the first character in the search string, followed by . (dot character),
        followed by the filename or directory to be excluded.

        If the filename or directory being excluded is a substring of another
        filename or directory, use ^. (caret character followed by dot
    character) to
        indicate that the search should begin at the beginning of the line
    and/or
        use $ (dollar sign character) to indicate that the search should end at
    the
        end of the line.

    What is the format for entries to this file?

    e.g. to exclude /home should the entry simply be

    /home
