I want to back up all the hidden files and directories in my homedir using rsync, but not the non-hidden files and directories. For example, given this directory listing: drwxr-xr-x 7 sophie sophie 238 31 Mar 08:45 . drwxr-xr-x 15 sophie sophie 510 31 Mar 08:14 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 sophie sophie 4 31 Mar 08:12 .foo drwxr-xr-x 3 sophie sophie 102 31 Mar 08:45 .hiddendir drwxr-xr-x 4 sophie sophie 136 31 Mar 08:13 VisibleDirectory -rw-r--r-- 1 sophie sophie 9 31 Mar 08:13 VisibleFile I want to back up .foo, .hiddendir, and all the contents of .hiddendir whether they are hidden or not. I don't want to back up VisibleDirectory or VisibleFile. All the incantations I have come up with back up ".", and therefore all its contents including VisibleFile and VisibleDirectory, and I can't figure out how to exclude it. Please help! I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard) and rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29.
