Of course, you are aware of the security problems of using the

That this will cause Mhonarc to overwrite any file in the specified
archive (specified by -outdir) directory with the same name? Yes. I've
sent the archive to a directory far up the tree, that is *not* on any
search path for executables. I've also considered using excludeext to
exclude any executables from being archived. Do I understand that option
correctly, in thinking that's what it will do?
Yes, usename blindly overwrites, which I should probably change.
However, depending on your web server, operating system, and system
configuration, it can be exploited to place system-type files.
