I'd strongly recommend to use forward slashes in POV-Ray, even when
using the Windows version. POV-Ray for Windows is designed to fully
support them.

(Besides, modern Windows versions themselves are also designed to
support forward slashes; there are just a few niches, such as various
inbuilt commands of the "good" old command prompt, where there are some
caveats.)
