I just encountered the following:

BackupPC 2.1.2pl2, server and host both FC5, using rsync backup/restore

- Host contains empty directoy /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines
- On BackupPC, browse to /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines, which contains 2 dirs
- Select all and start the restore

On host, BackupPC creates the dir /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines and restores
everything there.  (Note that the restored dir contains the \ trying to escape
the  space.)

Result is:
$ ll
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Sep 28 10:29 Virtual Machines
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Sep  8 09:11 Virtual\ Machines

and my restored dirs are in the second directory.

Easily fixed, but is there a config option to avoid this?
