But here is the cat -v: cat -v dirvish/default.conf # Configuration file for R2D5-VirtualBox Vms (archive of /VirtualBox Vms) # First written 18 August 2015 by dlh # 9/7/2015 changed tree entry to '/home/household/VirtualBox\ VMs/' #do local disk copy client: R2D5 expire: +4 weeks tree: '/home/household/VirtualBox\ VMs/' Using this .conf, I still get an error: rsync: change_dir "/home/household//'/home/household/VirtualBox VMs/'" failed: No such file or directory (2) I was asked earlier to look at the summary action line. It does look suspicious to me, although I am not familiar with the syntax: ACTION: rsync -vrltH --delete --stats -D --numeric-ids -pgo '/home/household/VirtualBox VMs/'/ /mnt/backup/dirvish-bank/R2D5-VboxVMs/2015-09-08-Tue-08:13:57/tree Is that a spurious forward slash just before /mnt/ba...? And another question: Is it possible to use a symlink to avoid the issue of the space in the directory name? Thanks for you interest in this issue. -Denis
