from man tar:

       --exclude FILE
              exclude file FILE

       -X, --exclude-from FILE
              exclude files listed in FILE

so,

tar -cfvX /dev/rmt/0h ./excludeList /home/apache /home/jetStream

where exclude list has directors, one per line:
/home/apache/logs
/home/jetStream/data
