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
