I can´t add paths by CLI on new policies because of Hispanic Characters

Hi everybody,

I´m creating a bunch of policies with a large number of Paths to include in each policy.

So I´m doing it via CLI with help from a batch. But  I found that folders with Hispanic Characters are not being added correctly.

For example

If I type

bppolicynew Policy-example

and then

bpplinclude Policy-example -add d:\ñandú

this is what I see on GUI in backup selection list

d:\±and·
 

Does anybody know how can I fix this on CLI?

 

Thanks.

    I don't have a solution for you... Found a post with newer NBU version and similar issue that was never solved : https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/backup-selection-and-non-english-chars

    Try:

    bpplinclude Policy-example -add "d:\ñandú"

    That didn't work me.

    Can I ask you to check something?  What do these show:

    > chcp

> mode con

    Thanks.

    It might look odd, but have you tried to backup using what it looks like?  Does the backup work?  If so, then all it is is a visual GUI issue.

    Hi sdo.

    It didn´t work. 

    I also obtain a different path name with bppllist.

     


    D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bppllist Policy-example -U
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Policy Name:       Policy-example

      Policy Type:         MS-Windows
      Active:              yes

    (...)

     Clients:      (none defined)

      Include:  d:\┬▒and┬╖

      Schedule:     (none defined)

    And the same path that I see on GUI...

    D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bppllist Policy-example -L

    Policy Name:       Policy-example
    Options:           0x0
    template:          FALSE
    audit_reason:         ?
    Names:             (none)
    Policy Type:       MS-Windows (13)
     (...)

    Clients:           (none defined)
    Include:           d:\±and·
    Schedule:          (none defined)

    D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>

     

    Thanks.

    I tried testing various methods of using different code pages.  No luck.  Sorry.   :(

    I remember seeing similar issue with other languages... I do not remember upfront how I got that resolved...

     

    However were you able to browse through GUI and add this path successfully ...

    Also are you using notepad to create this batch file and allowed non Ascii characters

    This is something related to localization issue ....

    Does notepad have the option of saving text in UTF-8 format?
