Before making a backup of a drive to a fat32 external usb drive, i would like to rename all files containing special characters not permitted on fat32 partitions, like "?" ":" "\" and "|". I would prefer to delete question marks and transform the others to "-". What is the best way to do that ? You will loose permission data, too. Good, in this case :-)
You could consider archiving as tgz in the usb drive. Otherwise, you could consider mtools (mcopy). I want to change the file names also because i want to have access to them on other operating systems too.
