Bah - Just as I was doing the tests, someone on site was moving all the docs to another server without telling me so they really had vanished!
 
Now to see whether they will back up using rsyncd on the Windows server - if the files stay in one place for long enough!

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Commas in filenames - a problem?

Hi,
 
I am trying to backup some documents associated with an old app that uses the filename to associate the documents to customer records - for example, here's the name of a Word document:
 
"Treatment Doc 10185, 051107.DOC"
 
In other words: this is a document associated with record 10185, written on 5th Nov 2007.
 
When I back them up from their linux-based host via rsyncd, every one of these documents throws up a message in the rsyncd log like:
 
2009/11/11 14:52:14 [14349] file has vanished: "/data/common/users/JUPVET_Docs/Text/Treatment Doc 10185, 051107.DOC" (in server)
 
The backup is still running (there are thousands of documents to check/backup), but is the comma in the name likely to be causing this? I have only just added the users path to the backup and previous tests backing up just /etc have worked fine. As the app is being taken out of service, I may be able to rename all the docs if necessary.
 
Thanks
 
Nigel
