I backup my windows box to FreeBSD/ZFS using rsync.
In windows I use cygwin/rsync client.
Works well enough. The problem is filenames with international character sets do not make it into backups.
Has anyone got this to work? There are problems at every step. Right now my cygwin doesn't seem to support UTF-8 (when you do ls, it shows those files as ????.ext).
For rsync I believe --iconv argument will need to be set.
How about ZFS? Is that Unicode compliant out of the box? Or how can I configure that?
Thanks.
Are you using Cygwin 1.7? That does support UTF-8, and it actually defaults to it. – ak2 – 2011-03-01T20:49:05.093
