Hi
Jesper,
Thanks for the
reply, unfortunately this did not resolve the problem. I set the "unix
charset =ISO8859-1" and then restarted the samba server, but to no avail.
I then tried changing the code page in BackupPC for rsyncd to cp850, which the
samba documentation indicated would be required to match the iso8859-1 setting,
but that also did not help.
I am still at a loss on how to
proceed.
Regards,
Paul
Hi
Paul,
In my experience you also need to set the Samba charset besides
the backuppc client charset when using backuppc over smb with these special
characters.
smb.conf:
<SNIP>
...
[global]
unix
charset =ISO8859-1
...
</SNIP>
I have the same issue as you describe just with speciel
danish characters(æ, ø and å) and setting the charset in Samaba solves
this.
Regards
Jesper

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
