Re: [Bacula-users] Special characters on Ms Windows filenames...
BUT there is an issue : if you save like that, it will prepend three characters to your file ( hex : EF BB BF) which is a code indicating it is utf-8. Very interesting, because if you open the file in notepad, notepad will write in utf-8 ! Unfortunately this does not work with Bacula, because it will report the following error : ERROR in ../../lib/parse_conf.c:804 Config error: Expected a Resource name identifier, got:  : line 1, col 3 of file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula\bacula-dir.conf Good news on that point : Robert Nelson modified the parser so that it ignores the utf8 marker just mentioned. With the next version you will not have to wonder about it, just set Scite to utf8 and save. Dysmas - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Bacula-users] Special characters on Ms Windows filenames...
Hello, Jaime, the problem you are dealing with can be solved quite easily. The question is bacula-dir.conf must be written in utf-8. Later probably it will be transparent, but presently you have to do it yourself. I am French. If I write : File = c:/Photothque/ It will not work. If I write File = c:/Potothque/ it will be OK. But it is difficult to write like that. I don't know if the solution given by Arno is OK for you, there is another one : Just use an editor which can write utf-8. I use Scite (free). You have a menu File/encoding. Set it to utf8, and it will write in utf8. BUT there is an issue : if you save like that, it will prepend three characters to your file ( hex : EF BB BF) which is a code indicating it is utf-8. Very interesting, because if you open the file in notepad, notepad will write in utf-8 ! Unfortunately this does not work with Bacula, because it will report the following error : ERROR in ../../lib/parse_conf.c:804 Config error: Expected a Resource name identifier, got: : line 1, col 3 of file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula\bacula-dir.conf Getting out of that is easy : just reset file/encoding in Scite to normal (8 bit) BEFORE you save your file. (Or reopen your file, reset and save again). 1) you will see the utf-8 codes appearing in your text 2) there will be no characters prepended and Bacula will be happy. And you also, I hope.

Re: [Bacula-users] Special characters on Ms Windows filenames...
Thank you Arno, I've changed the system's charset to UTF-8 and after converted the configuration file it works normally. Thank you, again, you have have been most helpfully.
