rsync - Oct 2010 - How to escape "()" characters in commad

I have the following command:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avv 'Jeffrey?s iPhone (Root)'/ 'Macintosh
HD'/Users/jeffrey/Downloads/iphone_backup

Unfortunately, it's barking when it hits the "(". 

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

How can I escape this?

Thanks.

Hi,
>/usr/local/bin/rsync -avv 'Jeffrey s iPhone (Root)'/ 'Macintosh

When there are spaces in the file name, it is typical to need to supply
--protect-args.
