How to get a tar file without paths and files/folders starting with a dot?

Question

linux

Shamanil does not work with this

tar -czvf backup.tar.gz -C /var/www/html  . --exclude='.[^/]*'

So it is taken without points
tar -czvf backup.tar.gz /var/www/html/*'
And so without paths but with points
tar -czvf backup.tar.gz -C /var/www/html .
It is necessary without paths and without points.

Answer 1

tar -czvf backup.tar.gz -C /var/www/html /var/www/html/*
