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
