I am trying to backup certain directories on a mounted harddrive and I am 
having a lot of difficulty.  It is on the localhost and I am running Ubuntu 
10.10.  My issue is that the paths contain spaces (e.g. /media/Folder/This 
Folder).  Whenever I try to enter this path into the web config (or ***.pl) for 
BackupPC, my path gets mangled.

I have tried with single and double quotes, I have tried with and without 
leading/trailing "/", and I have tried some combination of "\ " and "?" to see 
if I could get BackupPC to pass the correct path.  Whenever I check the error 
log I see that TAR or RSYNC fail due to BackupPC entering numerous other 
characters for the space (e.g. media/Folder\\ This Folder).
I know that this must be a frequent issue, but I couldn't find any 
recommendation in the BackupPC document or by searching.

Thanks
