I'm a bacula newbie. I've just installed bacula 2.0.3 on two Fedora Core 6 systems, my backup server and my laptop. After working through the tutorial and getting my test backup and restore to work locally, I configured the laptop and left it to do an overnight backup. It looked good for a while, but when I awoke this morning, I had the errors (below).
I'm not sure how to avoid the problem in the future. I can't find client_encoding in the manual, or anything with "encoding" in its name as a parameter to be set. I see the problem is caused by a couple of files with names that are not ASCII (an presumably not UTF8 either). I can "fix" this problem by just uninstalling the packages to which these files belong (they belong to games I don't play). How can I figure out the actual encoding for these file names? How can I fix the problem to back them up in the future? roland -- PGP Key ID: 66 BC 3B CD Roland B.
