[PLUG] When is it necessary to escape spaces in file names?

I am trying to set up dirvish for local backup. One file, VirtualBox VMs,
presents the subject question. In dirvish, the name will appear in two
places: The exclude: entry in the default.conf file for the backup of all
of home, and in the tree: entry in the default.conf file for the backup
of VirtualBox VMs
I can run a bunch of tests, but I would like some understanding when
escaping the space is needed. Should I be using the backslash or double
quotes?
I have looked at the documents for rsync, which dirvish uses, but it is too
dense for my soft head.
Thanks,
-Denis
