Hi Holger

Thanks for the hint. I removed the "+" as you suggested, and again, it 
restores "a file", but the file's name is now not "another\ ", but 
simply "another".
Investigated more into the escaping...

This is my RsyncClientRestoreCmd:
/usr/bin/sudo /var/lib/backuppc/bin/rsyncSend $argList
... which is not working.

And the content of my rsyncSend file is:
#/bin/sh -f
/usr/bin/rsync $*
(and it does not work either with exec /usr/bin/rsync $* nor with 
/usr/bin/rsync "$*")

Finally I got it to restore the file on the correct place with the 
correct name:
RsyncClientRestoreCmd: /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList

Simple question I have left now: should I remove the "+" also in the 
RsyncClientCmd, although it seems that it does do the backup?!?

my current RsyncClientCmd: /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+

And, ok, I found the hint with the "+" sign in the documentation, 
although not under rsync, but under tar-section.


Thanks for your help. It got me on the right track!

Regards,
Lukas
