How Snapshots Interact with Unicode
Chapter 10 Unicode 143
HTTP
HTTP integrates easily with Unicode and the SnapServer. If invalid UTF8 characters
are encountered on the file system, the characters will be returned with an escape
sequence. Escape sequences begin with {!^. The following two characters are the
hexidecimal value of the characters in the file name; for example, you might see
{!^AB in a file name.
CA Antivirus
CA Antivirus is not Unicode-aware. While the CA Antivirus UI displays garbled
characters for extended characters when Unicode has been enabled, it can still scan
files, find viruses, clean viruses, move, and rename virus-infected files.
How Snapshots Interact with Unicode
Snapshots taken before the SnapServer was converted to Unicode are not
compatable with the SnapServer once it has become Unicode enabled. It is not
recommended that a pre-Unicode snapshot be used to restore a post-Unicode
server.
Note It is recommended, if you have snapshots on your server from pre-Unicode
conversion, you delete all snapshots once the server has been converted to Unicode.
Backing Up Unicode Servers
Backing up a Unicode-enabled SnapServer requires you to use specific methods
depending on the type of client you have in use. It is recommended that like
languages be used across the backup process. For example: Russian files on a
localized Russian server should be backed up with a Unicode-compliant/Russian
localized backup application. Mixing languages between applications can result in
data corruption.
