Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: backuppc
Backuppc errors restoring when it encounters filenames starting ~$
Some background:
~$ files are temporary files, created by Microsoft Word in the
current directory whilst Word is editing the original file.
For example - opening filename.doc with word creates an additional
file ~$filename.doc
If Word crashes, it leaves this file behind. It's not usually a
problem, but it is playing havoc with BackupPC restore.
BackupPC backs up these files without a problem. I found that if I select a
directory for restoration that contains a ~$xxx file, the restore fails.
The only workarond I can think of for the moment Is to do a nightly
purge of the pesky ~$xxx files before backups take place.
Cheers,
Chris.
