Can't Backup/Restore Windows Favorites
I'm trying to back up a Windows Favorites folder. My first attempt was using cp with the -pR options. Some of the favorites were copied, but a number of others generated errors. The problem appears to be special characters in the file names: the most common special character was the question mark. I then tried to use tar. The archive was generated successfully, with all the special characters appearing when I listed the archive. However, extraction of the archive gave errors on the same files as before.
Is there a better utility to use which will not have this problem?
