Hi,

I am trying to backup a directory with a space in its
name,
however, amanda doesn't seem to like it in the
disklist.

For example, my disklist entry looks like:

mycomputer    /export/dir_with_a space  myconfig

When I run an amcheck, I get:

ERROR: mycomputer: [BOGUS REQUEST PACKET]

I've tried:

mycomputer    '/export/dir_with_a space'  myconfig
mycomputer    "/export/dir_with_a space"  myconfig
mycomputer    /export/dir_with_a\ space  myconfig

all with similar results.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
JB
