I'm having a serious mental issue with trying to create a tar archive of only my dot files (and dot directories).
Try something like: cd /home/me find . -type f -o -type d -a -name '.*' -print | \ tar --create --file=fred.tar --files-from=- Note that the order of -o (or) and -a (and) arguments in the find command is significant -- put the -a conditions last.
