Hello, We have three servers here at my office, 2 suse and 1 redhat. We use CPIO to backup on all servers. The servers are used as Windows samba share drives for our admin, legal and accounts people - only problem is trying to drum it into them about spaces in filenames when they have been used to Windows for so long. Recently one of the servers crashed and we needed to reload, we couldn't reload however because CPIO doesn't recognise spaces in filenames and mistakes them for a new directory and therefore places a \ on the end of the line. We also use BRU backup on one server and this does the same.
Can anybody suggest how I can get CPIO/Bru to backup nightly and allow us to restore filenames with spaces in the filenames?
Thankyou
Damian Buckley
I have a machine providing 1000's of files some with spaces and use backupedge for backup and restore without problems. You may want to look into using it. Ken
