Hello !

Is there a patch or a simple workaround to backup dirs with
whitespaces ?
I read the source an found out that the function skip_whitespaces skip
all whitespaces and escaped whitespaces like "\ ".
How can it be fixes, because dirs can include white spaces etc.
Is there a patch available or can anyone give me a hint how to manage
white spaced directories ?
I backup my NAS with zounds of white spaced dirs.

Solution 1: rename the toplevel directories

Solution 3: create a symlink without spaces for toplevel dirs:
                ln -s 'Some Dir With Spaces' Some_Dir_With_Spaces
