[rdiff-backup-users] Windows filenames not recognized

[Evert Mouw]

Hi,

I'm new to rdiff-backup and very enthousiastic about it. I use it to make
nightly backups of the Windows 2000 fileserver of my company. I've installed
a Slackware 10.0 computer with a few 200 GB harddisks, and it will access the
Windows 2000 server with Samba.

Unfortunately, some files returns errors:

UpdateError gedeelde data/ICT/klanten/_ niet actief/DVA/Scenario's voor de IT
omgeving bij DVA.doc [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I've read the man pages, and the --windows option is meant to backtup TO a
Windows filesystem, not FROM a Windows filesystem to a Linux filesystem like
I do.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,

Evert
