Hi all,
I am trying to backup my windows machines using Amanda + Samba 3 client.
However, those files which are going to be backed-up contain chinese
characters as its filenames. I want to keep those files with chinese
filenames using UTF-8 encoding when backup to the tape, so I changed my
smb.conf with few line added :
-------- Start of smb.conf --------
dos charset = CP950
unix charset = UTF-8
display charset =UTF-8
-------- End of smb.conf --------
With the amanda using the following dump type :
-------- Start of amanda.conf --------
define dumptype wins-comp-tar {
program "GNUTAR"
comment "Windows Backup through smbclient with tar & gz"
options srvcompress, index
priority high
}
-------- End of amanda.conf --------
I can get the following e-mail report from Amanda :
-------- Start of report --------
These dumps were to tape VOL-01.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

However, when I checked the index created, those chinese characters are
replaced by the following escape characters :
-------- Start of index file --------
/Web/\346\260\270\350\261\220\347\266\262\351\240\201-20040521.doc
-------- End of index file --------
When I try to use the retrieve using amrecover command, it shows :
amrecover> add *.doc
Added /Web/\346\260\270\350\261\220\347\266\262\351\240\201-20040521.doc

However, even I want to extract a file with english character as its
