Before, there were mixed usages of "data store" and
"datastore" throughout the docs.
This improves consistency in the docs by using only
"datastore" throughout.

The ' ' (space) between 'etc/ **/*.txt' resulted in the example command's output
not matching the given example output. Removing this space fixes the command.
This removes parts of the previous explanation of the tool that are no longer
correct, and adds an explanation of '--exclude' parameter, instead.
Adds more clarity to the command, by use of '/path/to/source' to signify
source directory.
Specify that the pattern matching style of the exclude parameter is that of
gitignore's syntax.
This changes the "Proxmox Backup" hyperlink, which is referred to throughout the
