[SOLVED] rsync (backintime) to samba share problem
by sniff from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56AVS)
Hello!
I use backintime for backups. It uses rsync and my backups are on an samba share.
I have noticed that filenames that start with an underscore are not being copied and it is because rsync cannot create the temporary ._* file as the samba share will not allow it. I have only recently noticed this as a couple of libraries I use have files in them that start with underscores.
Is there a way to solve this. Either by changing this particular samba share to allow ._ files or changing something in backintime?
Thanks!
