20.7 Legacy Series / Re: Possible illegal Windows characters in backup file names for nextcloud

I am not happy with it either 

At work we had a similar problem on a software and we decided for the ISO 8601 standard restricted to POSIX portable file name character set (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.bpxa400/bpxug469.htm) with the additional restriction to use only lowercase letters (Windows is case-insensitive).

The ugly thing is that Windows fails without notice or with unrelated errors in such cases.

I am going to wait 20.7 version, then.

Thank you for the implementation and keep up with the good work!

20.7 Legacy Series / Possible illegal Windows characters in backup file names for nextcloud

« on: May 20, 2020, 08:56:03 pm »

Hello all,

I setup nextcloud backup following the instructions on the OPNsense guide (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cloud_backup.html).

The configuration is properly saved and uploaded to the nextcloud server.
I can even download it from nextcloud to a Linux PC, so no problem here.

On a Windows computer, I have a nextcloud client installed.
In this Windows PC I can see the OPNsense-Backup folder correctly created in the synchronization folder.
However I don't see any configuration files in it.

I noticed the configuration file names contain the ':' (colon) character which I presume is illegal in Windows.
Maybe this is the reason configuration files are not synchronized.

So my question:
Is possible to customize configuration file names and have '-' (dash) instead of colons?
If so, how can I do this customization?

Thanks in advance,
Roberto
