I'm having trouble restoring backups via the command line. I want to
create a .tar of the entire pool for 2 different computers, and remove
the folders from the system  because they no longer need to be backed up.
I su to backuppc and  here's what happens:

$/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h tracy -n -1 -s
"Documents&Settings" Desktop "My Documents" >
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/tracy/tracy-backup.tar
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad share name
'Documents&Settings'

the share name from the relevant config.pl
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'Documents&Settings';

My fear is that the ampersand is messing things up. I've tried escaping
it and quoting the share name in every combination I can think of. I
still get errors.

Oh yeah, I'm using BackupPC version 2.1.2-6 installed from the .deb
package on Debian Sarge (Stable at the time, now I think it's Old Stable).

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
