I'm attempting to use rsync to backup from Linux to Windows. This is mostly working, except that paths with characters that are not legal in NTFS (< > : " / \ | ? *) are not copied because rsync fails to create files and directories with names containing these characters. I've looked at the --iconv option, but I'm not aware of a character set that includes only valid NTFS characters, and I've run into some issues with unicode characters when I use --iconv. (Currently, filenames with unicode characters are preserved perfectly, thanks to UTF-8 Cygwin.) Is there a way to get rsync to convert these illegal characters? I'm more interested in just getting all my data copied than necessarily preserving all filenames upon restore, though having a conversion that goes both ways would be preferable. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/rsync---convert-illegal-characters-in-paths-tp26805392p26805392.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
