exclude.dir .snapshot

If you use exclude the directories are still backed up and they are traversed 
with every file examined to see whether it matches something in the 
include/exclude list.

With exclude.dir, underlying directories are not backed up and the search of 
that branch of the filesystem tree stops there.

Hi all,

can someone help me with the include and exclude list ... 
Currently I have this

exclude.dir /local/data/*/.snapshot/.../*
exclude /apps/lmk/.snapshot/.../*
exclude.dir /local/data/001/*/.snapshot/.../*
exclude.dir /local/apps/001/mnt/.snapshot/.../*
exclude /local/apps01/.snapshot/.../*
exclude /apps/sss/.snapshot/.../*
exclude /apps/oss/.snapshot/.../*
 
is there a universal way to exclude any directory which name is ".snapshot" no 
matter how many levels it goes down to? because I have alot of .snapshot 
directory .. those above are not all the .snapshot directory ... I need to 
exclude all .snapshot directory 
 
This is what I think but still not sure yet
 
exclude /.../.snapshot/.../*  
 
is this correct ?
