Has anyone had any trouble backing up Furious Karting?? if anyone's had any trouble and has gotten success anyway, please let me know..

(yes, i've read about the invalid characters in it... what i'm asking is how can i get around this?)

You should be able to use a hex editor to find the references to the files and change them all.

I haven't seen a patch to do this yet, so I think you'll have to do it manually.
