    I just ran rsnapshot from the command line. I have a symbolic link in
    my /home directory to "DPS DeathIndex" in my Windows directory. I have set
    up rsnapshot to look for "DPS\ DeathIndex" (without the quotes.) The
    error message is:

    sudo rsnapshot hourly
    rsync: link_stat "/home/doug/Files/DPS\" failed: No such file or directory
    (2)
    rsync: link_stat "/home/doug/DeathIndex" failed: No such file or directory
    (2)
    IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion.

    Doug.

    Finally got around to testing it. In /etc/rsnapshot.conf I put ...
    include "/home/dave/documents/UNIX\ Security\ Checklist\ v2\.0\ \-\ Full\ Version\.mht"

    Note there is a tab between the include and the first double quote. All spaces,
    dashes, and periods are escaped.
