Hi Holger Thanks for the hint. I removed the "+" as you suggested, and again, it restores "a file", but the file's name is now not "another\ ", but simply "another". Investigated more into the escaping... This is my RsyncClientRestoreCmd: /usr/bin/sudo /var/lib/backuppc/bin/rsyncSend $argList ... which is not working. And the content of my rsyncSend file is: #/bin/sh -f /usr/bin/rsync $* (and it does not work either with exec /usr/bin/rsync $* nor with /usr/bin/rsync "$*") Finally I got it to restore the file on the correct place with the correct name: RsyncClientRestoreCmd: /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList Simple question I have left now: should I remove the "+" also in the RsyncClientCmd, although it seems that it does do the backup?!? my current RsyncClientCmd: /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+ And, ok, I found the hint with the "+" sign in the documentation, although not under rsync, but under tar-section. Thanks for your help. It got me on the right track!
