This is a known issue, right. It is considered to be addressed in future releases but I am afraid it won't be a part of release 5.9. However, I will double-check and get back with an update.

That is correct, it's a known issue. Thanks Julia!

It's too bad the Mac and Ultimate backups can't see each other. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Mac one for now, but I don't want to re-backup 30TBs of data if I can avoid it!

Please describe your use case.
You have NFS share on mac, that you back up by Windows Backup from another PC ?

Thanks

We have a Windows Server file share as well as two Synology NAS units that both PC and Mac users to store files on. With Cloudberry Backup Ultimate, it skips the vast majority of files touched by Macs because of the invisible Icon/r files. I went ahead and did a trial of the Mac desktop CloudBerry backup and it's able to backup all files.

Thanks for the details. Yeah, this is exactly the issue we consider as a known. The only way for now is to use Mac client to back up those files.

Thanks - I will for now purchase the Mac desktop version and hope that the Backup Ultimate version gets fixed at some point (we bought that version already). I'm happy to help be a tester if you need in the future.

We have tried to reproduced, backup and restore was successful.

1. Share folder on windows 2012
2. Create folder from mac pc and assign image. Icon\r files are created.
3. Backup from windows agent was successful
4. Restore from windows agent was also successful
5. Restored folder's image is not displayed correctly, need to dig more in that, but files are created as in original folder.

What is your concern?

Are you using CloudBerry Backup Ultimate to test? This happens from both the Server 2012 network share and from our Synology NAS'. When it fails it skips the folder or file and moves on to the next. Here is the error we get on any backups with Icon\r files:

2018-04-25 09:50:45,228 [Base] [1] ERROR - Failed to combine: 'FiretempLogos' and 'Icon
'
2018-04-25 09:50:45,229 [Base] [1] ERROR - Error on list directory

Illegal characters in path: 13. Position: 4. Path: 'Icon
'

at vG.B(String , String )
at vc.A(String , String , String , Boolean , Boolean , SearchOption )

I'm happy to send you logs or do a remote session to show you as well. I'd much prefer to use Ultimate over the desktop Mac version.

Any chance this will be fixed soon? I'd love to start using Ultimate again. I miss it!

There's no ETA yet, but we're working on that.

Checking in again on this since it's been a few months. Any update? :pray:

Sorry, no updates yet.
