Kopia path processing bugs

Author: replicaroCreated Sep 12, 2026Updated Sep 12, 2026

Two bugs I ran across:

  1. Windows restore can select the wrong entry. Kopia converts literal backslashes into separators, potentially resolving a\b.txt as a/b.txt.

  2. External SSH breaks identity paths containing spaces. Kopia splits its SSH argument string on spaces without interpreting quotes. Both /tmp/my key and "/tmp/my key" become multiple arguments.
