About special characters in Exchange mailbox folders and message subjects

NetBackup uses escape sequences for slashes and backslashes in mailbox folder names and message subjects because the objects are handled using file path syntax. The tilde (~) character is the escape character, so it also has to be escaped.

When you browse for items to restore, you see the escaped character sequences. Use Table: Translation of special characters in mailbox folders and message subjects to convert the translated characters back to the characters that appear in the restored items.
