Rsync - how to copy hidden folder or hidden files when using full path

Hello.
I use this command :
Code:
rsync -av --include=".*" --dry-run "$A_FULL_PATH_S"  "$A_FULL_PATH_D"

The data comes from the output of a find command.
And no full source directories are in use, only some files.

Source example
Code:
A_FULL_PATH_S="/backup_sys/¬001_INSTALL/¬100_ETC_and_USER_MODIFIED_FILES/2017_10_06_22h30/home/install_user/.some_dir/some_file"

or
Code:
A_FULL_PATH_S="/backup_sys/¬001_INSTALL/¬100_ETC_and_USER_MODIFIED_FILES/2017_10_06_22h30/home/install_user/some_dir/.some_file"

Corresponding destination
Code:
A_FULL_PATH_D="/home/install_user/.some_dir/some_file"

or
Code:
A_FULL_PATH_D="/home/install_user/some_dir/.some_file"

Any help is welcome.
