Hello Michael, I should add the comment that I do not know the correct answer to this question.
But given that. If I read the following url correctly The Linux TSM client does not support unicode at this time. If the filenames are in unicode. If they are just using chars code over 128 then the doc in the following url lets you know how to support them. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=tsm+linux+unicode&uid=swg21249081&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en Somebody with better IBM reading skills may give you a better answer. I suspect that using A NDMP backup of the netapp should support the Unicode chars and handle the filenames. len -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Green Sent: Friday, August 17, 2007 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Backing up files with ilegal characters Thanks for raising this topic! I'm curious how one should go about filenames in more than one language? I work for an academic institution in Israel and besides hebrew we have here researchers, students and support personnel that speak all kinds of languages: Russian, Arabic, German, Chinese, Japanese, you name it.. Our Netapp system that I backup via NFS (on a Linux client) contains UNIX home directories of all those fellows, locals and foreigners as one. As you might expect I get tons of ANS4042E and ANS1228E errors every night. Frankly, I have no clue how to solve this problem. I've started administering our Backup environment only recently and till now hadn't had time to dig deeper into this problem. But as I saw somebody raising this question here and now, I decided to step in. Presently I deal with the problem in administrative, not technical way: I simply warn users that if their data means anything to them, to not give your files names in "barbarian" languages or I may not be able to restore it. So far this approach "works" but I wouldn't call it a good service. If you have anything helpful on this matter I'd be happy to learn from you. On 8/16/07, Ing.
