I am trying to backup certain directories on a mounted harddrive and I am having a lot of difficulty. It is on the localhost and I am running Ubuntu 10.10. My issue is that the paths contain spaces (e.g. /media/Folder/This Folder). Whenever I try to enter this path into the web config (or ***.pl) for BackupPC, my path gets mangled.
I have tried with single and double quotes, I have tried with and without leading/trailing "/", and I have tried some combination of "\ " and "?" to see if I could get BackupPC to pass the correct path. Whenever I check the error log I see that TAR or RSYNC fail due to BackupPC entering numerous other characters for the space (e.g. media/Folder\\ This Folder). I know that this must be a frequent issue, but I couldn't find any recommendation in the BackupPC document or by searching.
