Is it possible the encode or character set is unreadable to the windows instance? These two OS's are completely different and in some cases I've had issues copying from one OS to another and vice versa.

Seems like a little more complex than before... So the first thing I’ll try is copying the full /data directory (I need to get this running now). Replication is a bit difficult if you cannot open ports and the dev machines don’t have a fixed ip. Does anybody have recipes for such scenarios? I also wonder what a simple backup/restore looks like..
