Hi roland,
Thank you very much for the reply.
From that post, the answer is the --override-chars-to-quote switch
(which is not in the man page, possibly because i'm using 1.1.5).
So I wrote:
rdiff-backup --override-chars-to-quote true /cygdrive/e/test /
cygdrive/e/backup
(is this the right command?)
Unfortunately, the following exception shows up:
Exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cygdrive/e/backup/
rdiff-backup
-data/fil;101_s;116a;116is;116ics.2007-01-08T00:54:41+08:00.da;
116a.gz'' raised
of class 'exceptions.IOError':
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py",
line 295, in err
or_check_Main
try: Main(arglist)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py",
line 315, in Mai
n
..
..(it's very long)
..
What's wrong? I noticed the semicolons in the file name mentioned
in the message, which I guess is the cause. (semicolons are not
allowed in MS windows.) Do they appear because of --override-chars-
to-quote? Any way to get around it?
I've little experience with cygwin or linux. Hope I've been clear
enough.
Thanks again!
Best,
Qiqi

Betreff: [rdiff-backup-users] Chinese characters in filenames on
Cygwin + Win XP
Hi all,
I am new to rdiff-backup, whose idea is attractive to me. So I
just installed rdiff-backup on my Cygwin + Win XP. But when I
tried to backup a file with Chinese characters in filename, in the
backup dir, its filename became like ";195;164;201;243.htm".
How can I resolve this? This happens on both NTFS and FAT32. I
wonder if it is related to the "Extended file name" test, which is
false on my computer.
Thanks!
Qiqi Yan
