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:/Photothèque/
It will not work.
If I write File = c:/Potothèque/
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.
Sincerely
Dysmas

Hi,

Hello,
On languages such as the Portuguese language there are "special
characters" with accute accent or circumflex accent, such as ÃÁÂ ç
(hope you see them correctly).
When backing up windows files with filenames with characters such
as those, bacula (?) translate the to different characters. For instance:
On windows File System:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents\susana\backups\susana\serviço/susana\documentação\
Bacula(?) Translation:
C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My
Documents/susana/backups/susana/serviço/susana/documentação/
When I restore them, the filenames are correctly restored to their
original name. So that means that bacula seems to handle correctly those
characters.
My problem is that I'm trying to set one directory for backup(on
the file set) which have those kind of characters, but bacula (or the
system) cant get there
File option on file set:
File = "C:/Documents and Settings/Susana Magalhães"
What i get when trying to back it up:
26-Oct 15:43 GSI01-fd: Could not stat C:/Documents and
Settings/Susana Magalhães/: ERR=O sistema não conseguiu localizar o
ficheiro especificado.
Which means "ERR=The system cannot find the path specified."
If I use the "translation" bacula does, File option on file set
would be like this:
File = "C:/Documents and Settings/Susana Magalhães"
And it works. So, whenever there's a folder with those special
characters, I need to do that "translation"
Is there a easy way to overcome this situations?
This seems to be a charset problem. But how can I solve it?
Thanks
It might help if you used the UTF-8 character set in the DIR configuration.
I guess you've got it set to iso8859-something now.
I'm never really sure how you do this, but I usually found that setting
"LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8" in the shell gets me a utf-8 character set in
addition to telling programs I want german language.
You have to set up your terminal to use or find the right character sets
and fonts, though. If your OS isn't prepared for utf-8 character sets
this might become difficult, I guess.
Anyway, after you have your working environment set to utf-8 use your
favorite text editor to insert the right characters into the
configuration file. Start the editor from the shell where you set the
language environment.
