that has nothing to do with upgrading BackupPC, it's simply a Perl matter.
To put the literal value domain\admin into a variable, you can either write
it as 'domain\admin' or "domain\\admin" (or several other ways). If you write
"domain\admin", that will be turned into the same as "domain\07dmin",
because \a inside double quotes means a "beep" (ASCII 7, "bell"). That's the
way it was before, and that's the way it still is, independent of anything
BackupPC-related. If it worked before, you must either have had single
quotes or a double backslash.
That said, configure.pl actually seems to contain a potential bug in that it
preserves the old quotes and the new value *when changing a setting*, so it
might write a value domain\admin to the new configuration file as
"domain\admin" - presuming CgiAdminUsers was a value it touched (which it
isn't). At least I can't see why this *should* happen, but I'll test in the
next days (considering *something* must have changed your setting ...).
Regards,
Holger
