Right, but I don't think Bacula needs that botch because it doesn't match
against . or .. as a filename. Moreover, it matches the whole path, so I
think following will work:
Options {
# include all files starting with a dot
wildfile = */.*
}
Options {
# exclude everything else
wildfile = *
exclude = yes
}
Note that this also matches all directories. This is necessary if you want to
find non top-level dot files, because the file tree is walked recursively and
so excluding directory /foo/bar would prevent it from considering
/foo/bar/.my-dot-file at all.
BTW, I would avoid calling these things regexes, because it just confuses them
with RegexFile which uses the more traditional regex syntax (not shell
syntax)!
