I'm so pleased with myself! I noticed the forward slash and the #012
and I figured  I had pressed <shift><enter> while naming the file
 (must be the line feed character) and that #012 is the ascii character
for a space

\n is 012 (10 0x0a) while space is 040 / 32 / 0x20. \n is a legal character for filenames in the ext234 filesystems, so this backup disk must be FAT or NTFS. Usually, things will be easier if you make your filenames match /[A-Za-z0-9_\.-]+/ because those characters are valid on all commonly used filesystems.

ABC always be camelcase. Nbs never be spacing

CamelCaseCanBeTakenToStupidExtremesAsSeenInALotOfBloodyJavaCodeSoDontDoThat. People use spaces in filenames because they never think about how spaces make command-line processing of files more annoying, but then not many people do a lot of handling files on the command line these days.
