Hello,
BackupPC seems a great tool.
The only - main - drawback for me is the file name mangling on (mainly
rsync) backups (backuppc adds an "f" to every folder of file backuped).
I've read the few information about that (that it wasn't activated on old
versions, and why it has been), but i really think it's a bad design
choice. "attrib" files could have been stored elsewhere for example, and so
on.
The problem is that the rsynced folder is not directly usable once
backuped, one can only restore from the (great) backuppc front-end, whereas
there are several use cases where this is not possible or pertinent (server
crash > remount external backup drive elsewhere and willing to immediately
access backuped files, or just willing to share as read only the backup
folder on the network).
So : how could i deactivate this file mangling thing ? (at first glance in
the code, it seems to be hard coded !).
If it is not possible to deactivate this behavior, could it be either
removed, either made configurable in a next version ?
Thanks in advance for any answer / clue about this.
Regards.

Serge.
