international chars in filenames

Hi:
I am backing up windows servers to linux with cwRsync. In windows I use cp850 codepage. Windows filenames with international characters (ie spanish accents) won't get correctly mapped to linux. And worse, when I restore those files back to windows, they don't have their original names anymore. What can I do? Do exist a way to tell rsync what codepage the server uses?

Thanks,

Inaki.

Re: international chars in filenames

I am having the same problem. That is a big problem as it makes the use of cwrsync for backups completely unuseful.Does someone have an idea on how to solve that issue ?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: international chars in filenames

Make sure that system-wide codepage settings are properly set at both sides. On Windows, it is called as Codepage for non Unicode applications on XP/2003 and Default locale on Windows 2000.
