I am backing up a directory that contains several user directories. I would like to skip all the dot files and directories in each user directory (.*) without specifying the full path for each user (i.e. /home/user1/.* /home/user2/.*). Is there an easy way to skip all .* files and directories using the exclude options without specifying the full path? My attempts to do this have failed but admittedly I am not well versed in python regular expressions or extended shell patterns.
Thanks, James
