Just tonight I realized something ... I still have one 'small' issue.
Currently, when doing backups, it's escaping all capitals, which is
annoying :)
It's also safer. Your SMB share does not differentiate uppercase from
lowercase. If you have two files, README and Readme, then one will
overwrite the other and you *WILL* lose data. That is why rdiff-backup
escapes uppercase characters on systems which can't distinguish them.
Rdiff-backup tests for this automatically on startup and determines
the appropriate course of action.
If you do the restore with rdiff-backup, it will automatically handle
the necessary un-escaping.
So, I go and make a new backup with a command such as:
/usr/bin/rdiff-backup -v5 --override-chars-to-quote ';' /home/svn /
mounts/drobo/Backups/quiver.svn
Use --override-chars-to-quote ''
(don't put anything between the '')
