You can 'add' or 'addx' files with space using wildcards or regex.
If you want to cd to a directory with space you need the latest
2.4.3b1 from http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda

Im using amanda 2.4.3b2. It sems that there are still problems cd'ing to 
directories containing whitespace:

AMRECOVER Version 2.4.3b2. Contacting server on  ..
amrecover setdisk /home/drivers
200 Disk set to /home/drivers.
amrecover ls
2002-01-11 HP4000/
2002-01-11 HP890 Color/
2002-01-11 wacom/
2002-01-11 webcam3/
amrecover cd HP890 Color/
Invalid directory - HP890
Invalid command - parse error
amrecover

This is consistent with all directories containing whitespace. The disk 
above is a ext3 directory on a RH7.1 box. Fun thing is that 
filenamecompletion (tab) works perfectly, the part after whitespace. I can 
add using wildcards so it more annoying than an actual problem.

Amanda, FreeBSD, HP SureStore DAT 40 config file?

[W. D.]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have this configuration?  If so, can you give me
some simple and straightforward instructions on how to get 
this working?

One scenario:
Backup of ALL files ON DEMAND.

Second Scenario:
Backup of ALL files Sunday night, Incremental other 6 nights

What would the config file look like?

Any other gotchas?

Thanks for any light you can shed!
