Zitat von John Bolt <[email protected]>:
The Bareos create_bareos_database script creates the database using the SQL_ASCII encoding.Will Bareos be able to backup and restore file names with weird letters like ü,ç,ã etc?Shouldn't we use Unicode (UTF8) for languages as Brazilian Portuguese for example?
To my knowledge the problem arises from the fact that it isn't clear how to reliable detect what the real encoding of filenames is on any supported OS. With this it is impossible to convert to UTF-8 and reconvert at restore time without possibly trashing filenames. So Bareos and Bacula BTW store the filenames as a sequence of bytes *without* encoding at all with the intention to simply restore them as-is. That's why ASCII is used to tell the DB to do nothing to check if it is a valid charset.
Do you actually have a problem with filenames or was it just suspected to be a problem?
