I am trying to do some backups with Rsnapshot and am constantly getting this error:

rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:

I was trying to play with parameters but cannot figure out what's the issue
The issue was with the
--exclude=*/Recycle\ Bin/
This needs to be quoted as spaces seems not to work.
--exclude="*/Recycle\ Bin/"
