Because of specifics of my archiving needs I am not comfortable with solid tar.gz archives and use 7z instead. I use the following command to do this: 7z a -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=off ~/my/folder.7z ~/my/folder/* To create an archive of everything inside ~/my/folder/ as the ~/my/folder.7z file. But ~/my/folder/.hiddenFolder doesm't get into the archive then. How to fix this? Isn't * supposed to return all the files and folders?
