I have a number of files on my computer with Hebrew filenames and they didn't get backed up. The error messages looked like this: 08-Sep 07:45 BackupServer: TamiBackup.2005-09-08_07.45.01 Fatal error: sql_create.c:658 sql_create.c:658 query SELECT FilenameId FROM Filename WHERE Name='ùìåí.doc' failed: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UNICODE": 0xed2e64
I assume that it is at least partially a PostGreSQL database problem, the database encoding is Unicode and for Hebrew it should be ISO_8859_8. I have a few questions about this: 1) In PostGreSQL you cannot change the encoding of a database so I would need to destroy it and start a new one. (No problem because I am in test). Is this simply a matter of dropping the database and restarting, or are there more complications involved? 2) The filename that is listed here is in Unicode characters and not Hebrew. If the file gets backed up with that "translation" will it restore it with the Hebrew filename or the bad translation, and just as important, would it be possible to see the Hebrew filename in the list of restore files. Obviously I won't be able to restore a file if I can't read its name. 3) Are there any language settings that I should be aware of?
