Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hi, I use VestaCP and I want to check backups in a secondary Server. When I do it I have a problem, in upload folder of one of my domains (wp-content/uploads/) there are a few files with accents in filename. When I check restored website I lose some images links because backup job change this accents with special characters using UTF-8 encoding.

For example, original filename:
Filename in backup:
Result:
There is some option to make backup and keep the original filename?

Thanks in advance!

This is not a Vesta issue, this is php/wordpress issue.

Hi, thanks for your answer, but I think that this is not php/wordpress issue,.. I also tested with vestacp default domain.

Yourself can make a site backup of some of your sites and check if the file (with accent) have the same name.

I don't know how vestacp make backups, so I think that there is some option to solve this. I make backups with rsync and I have no problems with accents.

thanks,

Hello, has anyone checked if same thing happens? Thank you!

Hi

This issue happen in a lot of ways.

You can get this issue also if you download from FTP in incorrect format and upload to orther server, this is not a panel problem, happen in cpanel, plesk, directadmin and webservers without panel, the big problem here is than people upload file names with special characters.

You can try download afected files with FTP in binary mode or forcing utf8 and upload it to new server to fix, also take a look locales and charset setup in both server.

May you think is a vesta issue, but vesta just run a tar / gz, so is a tar / gz issue or your server charset.

You also can try rsync your files rsync, should handle this problem in most cases.

Mire comendación, no suba archivos con caracteres especiales, genera muchos problemas en muchos sitios y muchos paneles, creame que no es un problema de vestacp.

Hi all, finally I solved the problem using (--format=posix --> info https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual ... tar_8.html)

In vestacp server edit line:244 of script v-backup-user
