The problem with Copying / Backing up is in the filenames. UTF8 names with special characters at least for me. cp complains: cannot create 'filenamewith?=intheend'

Cannot copy the files to a filesystem that doesn't support those markers in file names. eg MyDocs. Maybe make a tar of the whole folder would work. Then just copy it out.

Something like this should work: "$ tar -cvzf /home/user/MyDocs/backups/fmmsback.tar /home/user/.fmms"


I have like 7 MMS's that cannot be copied because of names that have * mark or = marker etc. The rest copied fine.

Of course it would be great if the CSSU team had some time to hack the backup software to include more stuff. But I know they are allready working hard.
