Yes, you're right. I tried creating the file manually with: $ touch '5-_ a.' touch: cannot touch `5-_ a.': No such file or directory but, the same works with '5-_ a.a'. The filesystem is a remote Windows share. It doesn't seem to accept files with empty space after a dot. If I try to do this from a Windows machine, it simply ignores the trailing dot and makes a file with no dots in it. This seems to be a general rule in Windows, it doesn't matter where I create the file, it doesn't seem to accept the dot to be the last character in a file name. Would it be possible to add this condition to the sanity check in rdiff-backup?
