I'm using rsync to perform backups. But I have errors in paths with spaces.

Source: C:\Users\giova\Downloads\Teste com espaço
Destination: C:\Users\giova\Downloads\Destino com espaço

Command:

rsync.exe -avz -s --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --chmod=ugo=rw /cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Teste" "com" "Espaço /cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Destino" "com" "espaço

Result:

sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Teste" "com" "Espaço" failed: No such file or directory (2)

sent 18 bytes  received 12 bytes  60.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1178) [sender=3.1.2]

Initially I was using cwrsync 6.2.4 (it has the same problem). Using cwrsync 5.5.0 everything works perfectly.

Now I downloaded cygwin and installed rsync (latest version), but the problem is the same.

How to make this work without using an old version of cygwin?
