Re: [BackupPC-users] International Characters

[Jean-Michel B. <be...@pc...>]

Hello Francis,

Same kind of observations but inverse !

Results of some tests with the same server and the same Vista client (XP 
is same)

- configuration of my server : Solaris 10/x86 with samba-3.0.24 (unix 
charset = UTF-8), BackupPC 3.0.0
- browser under MacOS X (Safari or FireFox)

1) with Xfer = smb

- show correctly in the cgi = YES
- correct download of one file from browser (respect of accents) = NO
- correct restore and decompressed archive ( with 7zip, PowerArchiver, 
Winzip,...) = NO

2) with Xfer = rsyncd

- show correctly in the cgi = NO
- correct download of one file from browser (respect of accents) = YES
- correct restore and decompressed archive ( with 7zip, PowerArchiver, 
Winzip,...) = YES

last but not least : the only way to restore correctly the file/folders 
with respect of accents with "Xfer = smb",
it's to use a MacOS X to unzip the archive !

I think that everything is in UTF-8 encoding but why these kinds of 
behavior ??

Definitely, rsyncd is the best method for windows client, but it's harm 
that there is a this problem
with accent in browser : not so critical because we can restore with 
respect of accents ...

regards
