[rdiff-backup-users] Capitalized letters from windows to linux
Hi all, I know this problem is not new but I couldn't find the solution anywere. Try simply to copy a file with capitalized letters in the file name form windows to a linux rdiff-backup server. I created the file àèìòù.txt in a test folder (windows), then I copied it by: rdiff-backup.exe --print-statistics --override-chars-to-quote '' --remote-schema "plink -i private.ppk %%s rdiff-backup --server" "F:/test" root@192.168.1.200::/mnt/dati/backup/f/test I get no error from rdiff-backup but when I look at the backed up file I see a question mark for each capitalized letter: # ls -l test/ totale 4 drwx-- 3 root root 4096 4 ott 17.52 rdiff-backup-data -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root0 4 ott 17.46 ?.txt I'm using rdiff-backup 1.2.8 on both sides.

[rdiff-backup-users] Daemon VS ssh
Is it possible to use rdiff-backup like rsync-daemon? I mean, instead of using an ssh tunnel, could it be possible to connect to a rdiff-backup deamon that do no use encryption like rsynd does? it would be easy to configure on windows host. So we could have a central backup server that connects to clients that are running the deamon. Also encryption is not always required. In these casees it's just a waste of resoruces.
