Perhaps my choice of words was misleading. In the Unix shell, the regex
.??* will select any file OR FOLDER whose name begins with a dot and
then contains at least two additional characters. This regex is
typically ised to select all dotfiles (and folders) without also
selecting . and .. at the same time.
The same principle should be applicable to a Bacula file selection regex.
I am curious, though, why you want to back up the dotfiles, but not any
other contents of the directory.
