Backup your files with CrashPlan! Except this file type. No, not that one either. Try again...

Sounds like more work than its worth.

Putting the infrastructure in place to filter files sounds like it'd be more time/effort/cost than just sucking it up and buying more disks and bandwidth. Especially since, like all backup services, they charge per gigabyte / TB. Mass storage, especially of the performance level you'd expect for backups, is ridiculously cheap nowadays, you can get disks at less than 3 cents per gigabyte and you can get a 90-bay JBOD chassis for about $10-15k. Bandwidth is fairly cheap too.
