file names with white spaces & restore using CLI
Hi,
It seems that "backintime --restore" commandline interface cannot handle file names with white spaces. I tried to enclose the file name (1) within double quotes, (2) single quotes, (3) using backslash escape without quotes. None of them seemed to work. Is this a known bug?
Thanks,
Kodanda
PS: Attached is the console output FYI.
