First step to correct this was properly handling how the vms_list file was being created (parsed output from vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms) additional variables are then created, prefixed with "esc_" containing the proper escape sequence for VM Names when used in various subsequent commands. Original variable names are kept as they are still used in places where the escaping is not needed, such as in logging. Additional special characters can be handled by modifying the sed statement on line 959. The restore script will also need to be updated.
Space missing in conditional which triggered ash error.
Did not need to escape the parenthesis in the sed statement

I believe this will also add the functionality requested for spaces in Issue #84 I'd have to look closer to see if it also addresses the brackets. |

this is great, it is able to grep the vm names with brackets when backing up.. |
