I'm pretty sure excludes are applied prior to includes so I would approach it like this: - Use a single exclude for all .xxx files.

If you use a glob (i.e. *) on the front of your exclude then I think it will apply to every directory, not just /home. Also, I don't think it will differentiate between hidden directories or hidden files. Richard Hi, I couldn't succeed to do what I wanted. If in the BackupFilesOnly I just define the dot files I want to keep (and in the BackupFilesExclude, all the dot files), then ONLY the dot files from BackupFilesOnly are saved, no other regular file. For the moment, I exclude some dot files that are too big and that I don't want to backup.

For the moment, I am working on something else and I prefer not to modify too much my configuration (I'm not yet a backuppc expert). I'll do what you proposed on next week-end and I'll tell you the result. Regards. Xuo.
