Errr... no. "Dokumente und Einstellungen" is "Documents and Settings," not Users. If you're backing up Vista or Windows 7, your problem isn't the spaces in the folder name, it's that the folder name is actually "Users," which is the same on both German and English versions. This is translated to "Benutzer" on the desktop, but it's only a localized name, in the filesystem, you still want "Users." And I hate to answer your question with a question, but where do you wish to quote the path with spaces in it? The BackupPC configuration, rsyncd.conf, the command line ...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
