Backuping hidden files only

Asked by Kirill Kabardin

Is there any way to backup hidden files only without backuping non-hidden ones? I want to backup user configs only and exclude any other directories in home folder.

You can try to exclude: "/home/<user>/[A-Za-z_0-9]*"

Thank you. excluding "/home/<user>/[!.]*" seems to work but now some directories in backup destination directory changed their owner to "root". (._.)
