Hello,
I'm trying to backup some Windows shares and keep getting these STRANGE
reports from amamnda:
I've found character substitutions on the some filenames where some of
the characters in the filenames are special characters:
$ becomes oe ('dollar sign' becomes 'oe' diphthong)
� becomes � ('1/2' becomes '<<' double left chevrons)
'? ERRDOS - ERRbadfile opening remote file' on files where these
substitutions occur.
Anyone know what is happening here? I'm asking on this list because it
directly affects the backups and maybe someone's seen it before. Is it a
amanda thing, a smbclient thing or a windows thing?
Depending where and how I browse these files I see different characters
in the filenames.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA
Tom
