If you want to exclude dot _files_ (i.e. you don't care about directories whose name starts with a dot other than .backup), and assuming you're backing up the whole /home directory, this would be enough: FileSet { Include { Options { exclude = yes wildfile = "/home/*/.*" } File = /home } } If you also wish to exclude other dot-directories, I would try something like: FileSet { Include { Options { wilddir = "/home/*/.backup" } Options { exclude = yes wild = "/home/*/.*" } File = /home } } Regex directives are another option, but IMHO they are a bit overkill for this problem.
