Hi,
We have a central backup system, and we use some scripts to replicate sensitive files from our servers to the central backup.
A problem arises when we try to replicate the /etc dir to the central backup, because we get errors on files which have colons (":") on the names.
Does anyone knows how to avoid this error?
It would help if you could show the commands as they are being executed.
The colon is used as a delimiter on the rsync command line between the
remote host and a path on that host to which files are copied, so if you
have a colon in a path then it may need to be escaped, or handled
somewhere other than the command line (such as an include file).

Good luck.
