Hello everybody,
I've tried everything and nothing seams to work. How can I backup an
directory with a space in it's name? I've tried /path/to/dir\ with\
space/ or "/path/to/dir with space", but rdiff-backup crashes on this.
It can't find the correct directory. It either thinks that every
directory is a separate directory or it thinks that the " are part of
the directory name. Both cases make the backup fail. How to fix?

How about:
/path/to/"dir with space"
I know rdiff-backup handles spaces in filenames fine in the tree, but
was wondering if this was an issue just with the source dir as specified
on the command line, so I tried with creating:
temp
-->A B
-->C
And creating file "A B/test.txt", and then:
temp$ rdiff-backup A\ B C
And that worked fine. (Note: I didn't try with absolute paths.) I also
created subdirs under "A B" with a file in one of them and that was okay
also. Have you experimented with some different scenarios on a smaller
scale to see if you can reproduce it in different ways?
