Backup via TC GUI Tool

[SamK]

For items within /home, and without manually specifying each directory and/or file individually, is it possible to specify either of the following?

* Exclude all non-dot-directories and non-dot-files
* Include all dot-directories and dot-files, except any listed in the tab Excluded from Backup e.g. .Xauthority

Do you want the condition to apply recursively or just on top level files and dirs?

Top level only.

Not tested with backup, just with quickly creating a tarball from CLI

Refer to the title of the topic.  Operation of the backup tool via its GUI is desired. It is not possible to enter the suggested specification.

Hmmkay, didn't think of that, had just executing of backup via GUI in mind...

Regardless of GUI or not, some further testing showed my attempt is invalid whatsoever.   
Please disregard.
