UNIX incompatibility example

Three users working on a Solaris system without Data Protector installed, each using

a different character set, create files on the same filesystem outside the ASCII character

range. If the users then use the ls command to display the files they created as well

as those created by the other users, the following happens:

• each user views their own file names correctly

• each user views the file names of the other users as corrupted. The corrupted file

names may even look different on the different systems.

The corrupted file names were created using a different code set than the one used

to perform the ls command. They do not have a "tag" indicating the code set which

was used for their creation. This happens on systems using native filesystem viewers,

for example,ls in the terminal window.

File name handling during backup

Data Protector reads file names using the Disk Agent (running on the respective client

to be backed up) and saves an original copy to a medium. The file names are also

converted to an “internal” code set and logged to the IDB, if the log filename

option is selected for the backup.

Browsing file names

The Data Protector GUI can be used to select the files for restore. This is done by

viewing the file names in the IDB on the system where the GUI is running. Data

Protector offers multiple encodings to view all file names that appear in its GUI. When

a specific character encoding is selected, Data Protector uses it to display characters

in filenames.

To correctly display filenames, select the same character encoding that was in effect

on the system, on which the files were created. Otherwise, file names appear

corrupted in the Data Protector GUI.

The correct file names can be restored to the same platform that backup was made

on.

For a list of configurations indicating the file name browsing restrictions, see the

online Help index: “internationalization”.

File name handling during restore

Files are typically restored to the same platform as was used for backup. The process

is as follows:
