rsync and hidden files...[solved]

Hi,

I have tried using pybackpack simplebackup flyback but they do not quite do what I want....

Can write a simple script using rsync

Tried using

rsync -a source/ destination/

but hidden files are not copied over?

device I am backing up to is vfat ;-(

thanks

MrG
