I don't know what are you doing, but "my way" definitely works. It's
what I've been using (with some small changes) for years. And I've
just tested it right now, and performs as expected.

Have you evaled the code I sent? It is my-backup-enable-predicate
assigned to the variable `backup-enable-predicate'?

Also note that any excluding you do with `my-exclude-file-from-backup'
is not persistent: it won't be active the next time you invoke Emacs.
If you want a persistent excluding, you must use
`my-exclude-from-backup' from your .emacs startup file, as shown in
the first message I sent in this thread.
