Unfortunately they're in unicode and I don't know enough to translate them to ascii offhand. Kevin Horton's message suggests that all the standard unix characters should be fine though. If anyone wants to be more precise about this, by looking at Alastair's table and translating it into normal unix calls (which deal with C char *'s), let me know what you come up with. > Maybe it's because I'm new to rdiff-backup, but I can't understand > why you need to determine the capabilities of the source file > system? Under the old system we didn't check the source, just the destination (as in your scheme). This worked ok, but led to unnecessary quoting. For instance in a Mac OS X -> Mac OS X backup, rdiff-backup would quote all uppercase characters. If we determine the capabilities of the source too, then we can quote only what needs to be. -- Ben Escoto
