Hi Paul,
Just tested it on one of my BackupPC servers.
Now mine is installed on Debian6 x64, and uses the stable backuppc
package (3.1.0) from the Debian repositories.
Result here:

Hello,
This is a follow up post to the original issue.
I have done some additonal testing and now it seems that the issue is
specifically related to either backuppc or the File::RsyncP module, as
these are the two pieces I can not eliminate.
I have setup and successfully completed straight rsync file transfer
from the winXP box to the Unbuntu (10.04) with no issue. All files
transferred with out any changes to the filename. I have scoured the
various user forums for any related problems and aside from a few
people who had issues relating to European character sets not
translating properly (which I have eliminated as a possible solution)
there are no issue being reported. It seem sthat I am the only one to
create filenames starting with an open parenthesis....
Is anyone able to test this issue on their system and see if it is
indeed common?

Paul
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.

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.

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
