	Probleme with rdiff on smbfs by Toscano2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Just tonight I realized something ... I still have one 'small' issue. Currently, when doing backups, it's escaping all capitals, which is annoying :) Theoretically I should be able to use the --override-chars-to-quote to stop that. However: If I try to do that against an already existing backup., it gives an error, that's ok, I expected that. So, I go and make a new backup with a command such as: /usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --override-chars-to-quote ';' /home/svn /mounts/drobo/Backups/quiver.svn It works, and things are uppercase properly/etc. But then if I run it AGAIN, I get the following error: sh-3.1# /usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --override-chars-to-quote ';' /home/svn /mounts/drobo/Backups/quiver.svn Using rdiff-backup version 1.2.1 POSIX ACLs not supported by filesystem at /home/svn Unable to import win32security module.

If you have two files, README and Readme, then one will overwrite the other and you WILL lose data. That is why rdiff-backup escapes uppercase characters on systems which can't distinguish them. Rdiff-backup tests for this automatically on startup and determines the appropriate course of action. If you do the restore with rdiff-backup, it will automatically handle the necessary un-escaping. > So, I go and make a new backup with a command such as: > /usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --override-chars-to-quote ';' /home/svn / > mounts/drobo/Backups/quiver.svn Use --override-chars-to-quote '' (don't put anything between the '') Andrew _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@... http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
