rdiff-backup using escape codes on vfat thumbdrive
I thought it may be nice to use rdiff-backup to backup my websites to a thumb drive. But all the capital letters are substituted with octal escape codes. How can I over come this?
There are no issues backing up to another ext3 drive.
The source drive is ext3 the thumb drive is vfat mounted as:
Example:
original - SOLMETRA-FlashUploader_102
becomes - ;083;079;076;077;069;084;082;065-;070lash;085ploader_102
rdiff-backup -V
rdiff-backup 1.2.7
rdiff-backup command:
Ubuntu version 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu

Still need help --override-chars-to-quote turns all directory and file names to octals. --override-chars-to-quote made it worse

rsync ~/rdiffdirectory /directory on external volume
also if I did this...
rdiff-backup ~/rdiffdirectory /directory on external volume
