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
