I tried renaming one of the problem files last night, and it backed up properly. Windows wasn't properly displaying the "problem letter" (a 'u' with 2 dots over it), so maybe it's problems w/ my windows settings. My other problem files have two characters that look like squares. I'm not sure what they're supposed to be. Any ideas? -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
