Backup on Windows with exclude-globbing-filelist and spaces

Post Backup on Windows with exclude-globbing-filelist and spaces 
Hello,



I've been trying to make a backup with rdiff-backup from Windows Vista to a remote Linux box via ssh.
I'm trying to achieve something like this:


"S:Program Filesrdiff-backuprdiff-backup.exe" --exclude-globbing-filelist "S:Program Filesrdiff-backupmy_exclude.txt" --remote-schema "s:Program Filesputty2plink.exe -i privatekey.ppk %%s rdiff-backup --server" s:Tempdoc user < at > example.com::/home/user/.rdiff-backup


File my_exclude.txt looks like this:

- s:/Temp/doc/test



I've tried other variations, like S:\/Temp\/doc\/test or S:Tempdoc which was suggested in Windows howto, but nothing works and it throws this:



Fatal Error: Fatal Error: The file specification
's:/Temp/doc/test'
cannot match any files in the base directory
's:Tempdoc'



So my goal is to exclude "test" directory from S:Tempdoc. I am planning on backuping my Documents after I success with this, so I would also like to exclude some directories with spaces in their name (like "My Games").



Is it possible to do this with rdiff-backup on Windows?



Thanks and regards,

GroundZero
