I installed and configured a QNAP TS-463U-RP in a branch office to mirror data used by this office and the main office.
Some time after the initial sync, I suddenly find special (maybe Unicode) characters in file- and directory names. Windows command line with the default codepage depicts them as a ?
, changing the codepage to e.g. 1252 shows the characters to be
. Connecting via SSH shows them as "
.
Now I can rename the files using SSH or the Windows command line (not using explorer, though), but this is tedious. I tried searching the directory structure using different tools (find
, Windows Search, some 3rd party tools etc.) but couldn't come up with any pattern to automate the process.
My backup is up to date, except for the special-char-files which seem to be added at random, these I have to repair...
I don't even really know what characters these are.
I do know that they are using Macs on NTFS, maybe it has something to do with it.
So: How could I proceed in renaming the files automatically and - even more important - how could I prevent the files from being renamed / created?
