Unfortunately not, there have been several discussions about being
able to define a blacklist of paths when taking a backup but nothing
has showed up in the code tree. For log files, there is a trick
though: you can define log_directory with an absolute path pointing
out of PGDATA so those logs won't be included in base backups.
