I am trying to do a simple backup of my home directory into my backup directory on my desktop. Im on my laptop running xubuntu intrepid. Rsync will not exclude hidden files no matter what I type. The command I am using is:
No hidden files or directories are excluded. I have tried multiple different combinations of the exclude directive to no avail. Any suggestions?Code:rsync -av --progress --exclude=¨.*/¨ --exclude=¨.*¨ <my source dir> user@mydesktop::backup/dest
