Have lots of failures copying my disk to another, exFAT disk.
Specifically, file names with ':', '|' chars did not get through.
What is the allowed charset?
Is there a program to solve the issue, like changing the illegal chars to '.'?

One possible solution (works for me) is to rename all the original files replacing the illegal chars, e.g.
find . -name "[:|]" -execdir rename -v 's/[:|]/./g' '{}' +
