Hi everybody,

 

since about one week, I have severe problems backing up our windows 2012 r2 server and our synology running DSM 6.

 

Here’s a log from the windows server 2012 r2:

 

Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX\\D\$ -U XXXXXXXXX -E -d 1 -c tarmode\ full -Tc - /Software

Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share D$)

Backup aborted (No files dumped for share D$)

Not saving this as a partial backup since it has fewer files than the prior one (got 732 and 0 files versus 732)

 

As you can see, all files with umlauts cannot be backupped. I assume this has something to do with the samba upgrade to 4.2, which was discussed some days ago on the list.

The same error shows also when backing up the synology via smb.

 

Until one week ago, everything worked. I am using debian jessie as a basic system and I have automatic updates in place. The last successful update took place in April 13, 2016.

 

Is there anything I can do right now to solve the umlaut conversion problem or do I have to wait until backuppc is adjusted to the new samba version?

 

Best regards,

Johannes Koenig
