Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Chinese characters in filenames on Cygwin + Win XP

[Qiqi Yan]

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

Quqi, 

just go to the mailinglist archive and look into some posts just before this 
one - there was just some other person asking for this some days ago.
it`s a feature!
