How did you do the backup?



This is still the correct path;

"/media/disk/All-Multitrack/lately/interchange/lately /audiofiles"?

It didn't change to something similar to;

"/media/backup/All-Multitrack/lately/interchange/lately /audiofiles" ?



Btw. there are no < and > here:

There's a character set conversion for GNOME just to translate file
names, e.g. to get the signs instead of the unicode.

Search synaptic for "file name conversion" or "encoding" etc. ... I did
find "convmv" but I'm sure at least there will be another tool by GNOME
also available.

Did you mix FAT, NTFS and Linux file systems?

Yes Bob, I guess we got it:

spinymouse@64studio:/media/INTENSO$ touch <test>
touch: setting times of `<test>': No such file or directory
spinymouse@64studio:/media/INTENSO$ touch ~/Desktop/<test>

/media/INTENSO is a FAT32 USB stick ~/Desktop is a ext4 hard disk
partition. Writing the file name '<test>' to the USB stick didn't work,
writing to ext4 and ext3 did work.

You should do a backup of Linux files to a FAT32 partition by creating
an archive, this won't cause any issue.

Note that you could use a TAR archive to preserve permissions and file
names or that for the future you only use 8 international "normal"
letters and numbers + a dot and again 3 international "normal" letters
and numbers .

If you like to share files with the computer of a friend, it might be an
advantage to keep FAT32. I keep FAT32 for my USB stick also to be able
to update the BIOS using the USB stick.

You bet. FAT is not nearly as liberal as Unix when it comes to
file names.

As Ralf said, you can work around that by using an archiver like
tar or cpio.

Or reformat the partition as ext3 or some such. Then you'll be
able to do incremental backups with rsync.

Because it's an external hard disk I at least would format a small
primary partition using FAT32 and one or more extended using ext3 or
ext4 and perhaps a Linux swap too. OTOH it depends to the usage
having just one partition formatted as extFS also could be a wise decision.
