Hello,
I'm having an issue with backuppc, that I have not seen reported in any of
the user lists.
I am using the latest versions of backupppc(3.2.1 on Ubuntu 10.04) and
cygwin / rsyncd (1.7.9 / 3.08) on WinXP (SP3).
I am backing up a large directory of mp3 files ~6,000 files.
From all appearances the backup works fine:
- The rsyncd.log shows each file being transferred with no
errors.
- The Backuppc log reports the successful completion of the backup
indicating receipt of all ~6000 files
and the transfer of over 24GB.
But…when I browse the backup most of the files are not there!!
After some investigation I discovered that any file with a filename
starting with “(“, “-“, or “)” are not being
copied to the disk…
Since a majority of my files begin with ”(“ they are not being reflected in
the backuppc backup directory.
I have the $Conf{ClientCharset} option set to cp1252 for the WinXP
config.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Am I missing something
obvious?
I hope I can resolve it without resorting changing 4000+ filenames…
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Paul
