Thanks, i tied diffenrent things but none of them excludes the hidden files.
Here is my host.pl :
========
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
   '/home/remi'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '/home/remi/.*' => [
     ''
   ],
   '/home/remi/' => [
     '.*'
   ],
   '.*' => [
     ''
   ]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
   '/home/remi/' => [
     '',
     '.thunderbird/'
   ]
};

========

Logged onto the server as backuppc user, i do a 
"/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f 192.168.0.10" and i see 
plenty of lines like those ones :
   same     644   500/100       16623 .AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile
   same     644   500/500          59 .DCOPserver_remi-desktop__0
   same     600   500/500      148258 .ICEauthority
   create d 755   500/500        4096 .VirtualBox
   create d 755   500/500        4096 .VirtualBox/HardDisks

=> .* files are not excluded.

Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Rémi.
