My understanding is that it should work. Box Backup treats everything from 
the equals sign to the end of the line, with white space at the beginning 
and end trimmed off, as the configuration value. No escaping is supported. 
In practice, that should not be a problem unless you have a newline in 
your file name :-)

Brent, please let us know if that doesn't work and I'll investigate.

Cheers, Chris.
