I'm trying to mount a smb network share in fstab on FreeBSD, which works fine for a share without spaces, but fails if a space is in the name. I have replaced the space with \040 which is what everything on google has said, but that didn't help.

Share name I'm trying to mount is "Data Backups".

Share name as written in fstab that doesn't work: //USERNAME@COMPUTER/Data\040Backups

Any suggestions?
