\n is 012 (10 0x0a) while space is 040 / 32 / 0x20. \n is a legal
character for filenames in the ext234 filesystems, so this backup disk
must be FAT or NTFS. Usually, things will be easier if you make your
filenames match /[A-Za-z0-9_\.-]+/ because those characters are valid on
all commonly used filesystems.

CamelCaseCanBeTakenToStupidExtremesAsSeenInALotOfBloodyJavaCodeSoDontDoThat.
People use spaces in filenames because they never think about how
spaces make command-line processing of files more annoying, but then not
many people do a lot of handling files on the command line these days.
