Referencing Issue #267

Running SMBSync2 with a Mirror Task to backup Android Phone (/storage/emulated/0) to Network NAS through smb connection. It works great for the most part, but runs into an issue with copying a directory in which the folder has a trailing ".." in the folder name. SMBSync2 will successfully copy the folder and its contents to the NAS, but will later in the same SYNC task ask to delete the directory and its contents (thus undoing the backup sync for this folder and its contents).

Perhaps SMBSync2 should have the folder directory structure and files wrapped in quotation/quote marks, as was the same issue raised with Issue #267 with the space character in a file/folder being backed-up.

Removing the trailing .. from the folder in question eliminated this issue, and the backup succeeded to the NAS without issue.
