Thanks for the help.
After I wrote my email, I finally found that my problem was already
mentionned on the mailing list. Sorry I should have looked more
carefully.
I have installed rdiff-backup with fink so I have version 0.13.4-1.
From the man I though I could not use the --override-chars-to-quote ''
option but it works anyways. I now have directory and file with capital
letter in the backup.
My problem right now is that I am unable to make a restore from my
backup. At the end of this email you will find the script and its
output. I am clueless as to what is the problem, since the directory
where the problem seems to happen is identical in the original and in
the backup (this is why I list these directories in the middle of the
script).
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the long email.
thanks
