Illegal Characters to Avoid in Configurations

When you upgrade from earlier versions of Backup, the configuration names of label templates, directives, groups, policies, and schedules that include the following special characters are no longer allowed:

/\\*?[]()$!^;'\"`~><&|{}

This change was made because volume labels, directives, groups, policies, and schedules are often passed as command line options to various Backup programs.

During installation of Backup, these characters in your current configuration names are replaced with an underscore (_) in the resources where they were originally created.

However, in the Clients resource where these configurations are applied, Backup automatically replaces the selected configuration with the preexisting Default configuration.

You need to reselect the configurations whose names have changed and reapply them to the individual clients.
