Hi everyone,

I want to make a regular backup of my Maildir.

Does anyone know how to tell tar to include all the hidden directories
inside ~/Maildir without adding all other hidden directories that it
finds?

When I try

tar cfvz x.tgz * .*

tar will also add all ~/.* directories, and I don't want that to happen.
I can't figure out how to make this happen.

Thanks!
Paul
