That would matter for the character encoding of the file content, what I'm referring to, and you're having problems with, is the file names. It's a separate issue, but both can cause you problems. File names need to be what they're expected to be, and the content in a format that can be read. Some things can assess a file and deal with that themselves, others will expect the files to already be in a specific format. Now after changing file names *for* the backup, what happens when you restore them? Do you end up with two similarly named files? Or will your backup directly replace the original? -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
