[BackupPC-users] Excluding files and folders with spaces
Hi all, I didn't find any information on how filenames and folders that have a space in their name should be added to Xfer/BackupFilesExclude.

[BackupPC-users] The famous Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) error
Hi, I've got the Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) error for some weeks now. It was working allright for a year or two, but lately those errors come up every night. The problem is that if I start a backup manualy via the CLI commands, or by the webinterface it all works like a charm. So 'only' the automatic started backups seem to suffer from this problem. Is there any way to debug this in BackupPC?

Hi Michel, Thank you for your time. Yes I can login. And, the strange thing is, when I click the 'Start Backup' button in the webinterface the backup runs without any problems.
