Hi underscorers, I'm trying to write a backup script for my NAS but have got stuck on a folder with an apostrophe in it's name. Here's what I have: rsync -auvz --rsh=ssh user at 192.168.1.3:/cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/Noah\'s\ Ark/My\ Documents/* /home/backup/tiger/My\ Documents/ but it doesn't work and seems to be getting stuck on the apostrophe in Noah's... I've also tried using a variable BLAH="/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Noah's Ark/My Documents/*" and then sticking it in rsync that way: rsync -auvz --rsh=ssh user at 192.168.1.3:"$BLAH" /home/backup/tiger/My\ Documents/ but to no avail... please help! Cheers, Adam
