Non-latin folder names are not backup

Support
#1

Hi,

Im using Duplicacy Web Edition (version 1.5.0)as a docker container on Unraid. The storage of the backups is in a Minio container on the same Unraid box. My folders that are should be backed up contain non-latin characters (å ä ö etc). However, they are not being backup. If I change folder names to latin characters, the folders are being backed up.

Is this a known bug and is there a fix planned? or are there other steps I can take other than renaming all my files and folders? It’s currently keeping me from buying a licence and I would really like to use Duplicacy.

Works for me:

~ % cd /tmp
/tmp % mkdir source target
/tmp % cd source
source % ~/go/bin/duplicacy init test /tmp/target
/tmp/source will be backed up to /tmp/target with id test
source % echo hello > åäö.txt
source % ls
åäö.txt
source % ~/go/bin/duplicacy backup
Storage set to /tmp/target
No previous backup found

source %

So duplicacy seems to handle the UTF-8 correctly, and the issue is somewhere else ( I have a metric ton of files named in Cyrillic myself, so that was never an issue)

What do you have in your filters file?

You can run backup with -d global flag to see why the files are not being picked up.

Hi again!
The files were picked up according to the logs. It is the restore that doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve posted in that thread as well.

Many thanks for the reply here!

Interesting. Restore works for me - at lest in the CLI:

source % rm åäö.txt
source % ls
source % ~/go/bin/duplicacy restore -r 1 "*"
Storage set to /tmp/target

Wondering what is different on your setup. Perhaps it’s WebUI specific issue related to locale on your machine.
