Backup of file with Hebrew names

[mench]

Any plans to support this? I tried the full version which is supposed to support Unicode, but it still does not recognize files with name in Hebrew.

Hi, SyncBackSE is already capable of copying files with filenames in any language. Remember that your destination also needs to support Unicode. Many FTP servers do not, and neither do some NAS devices. Check to see if Explorer can copy it first to be sure the destination supports Unicode filenames. If it does copy correctly then please submit a support ticket with all the relevant details.

Hi,

I've used the SyncBack freeware on my XP machine with hebrew file names without any problem.

Now migrated to Vista, it fails. any solution?

Thanks.

Hi, if the Windows system locale is set correctly then there won't be a problem with Hebrew or English filenames (but it won't work with Chinese, Japanese, etc). For SyncBackSE it's not a problem because it uses Unicode so it can cope with filenames in any language.

On Vista to change the locale:

Hi,
Also having problems with Hebrew in WinXP.
Copying from 1 disk to another on the same computer.
All Hebrew file names appear as ????? (even in simulation run it reports the problem)
When using windows copy or TeraCopy I have no issue.
Also tried MS synctoy with no problem ...
Any idea what needs to be changed? :?

THX, Al

All the alternatives you quote (assuming 'latest version') support Unicode, so they're not 'playing on the same pitch' as SyncBack freeware (which doesn't)

If the Simulated Run "reports the problem", does it give an error message? If so, what is it?

Have you set the Windows Locale?

Have you tried changing the copy mode to Windows Shell (or if you're using that now, change back)? See Modify > Copy/Delete tab > top option

Otherwise, I'm stumped, sorry
