Hi i have this RDSCHM="--remote-schema 'ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_backup -C %s rdiff-backup --server'" and trying this rdiff-backup \ $RDSCHM \ $RDRM \ "$DEST/" with sh -x i get this + rdiff-backup --remote-schema ''\''ssh' -i /root/.ssh/id_backup -C %s rdiff-backup '--server'\''' --remove-older-than '"10B"' --force max::/backups/test/system/ Fatal Error: Bad commandline options: option -i not recognized See the rdiff-backup manual page for more information. the ''\''ssh' is the confusing bit it is seperate out the ssh and the -i. what can I do to prevent this. My reading has lead me to IFS variable but I don't want to start playing with this yet ! I think I am just missing something. Hopefully the ml eyes will be able to see what i can't oh and its using dash well sh thank Alex
