If you want to exclude dot _files_ (i.e. you don't care about
directories whose name starts with a dot other than .backup), and
assuming you're backing up the whole /home directory, this would be enough:

FileSet
{
   Include
   {
      Options
      {
         exclude = yes
         wildfile = "/home/*/.*"
      }
      File = /home
   }
}

If you also wish to exclude other dot-directories, I would try something
like:

FileSet
{
   Include
   {
      Options
      {
         wilddir = "/home/*/.backup"
      }
      Options
      {
         exclude = yes
         wild = "/home/*/.*"
      }
      File = /home
   }
}

Regex directives are another option, but IMHO they are a bit overkill
for this problem.

HTH,
