Working with dsync and setting up backups to a Windows file server. Problem seems to be that Windows is renaming the dovecot mail files (maildir) to Windows friendly filenames, and losing the Dovecot name. For example, 1323817925.M36368P32049.triata.globalchangemultimedia.net,S=2255,W=2318:2,S becomes 1AETPH~X.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to tell Windows to not do this? Or is it not possible? I have backed up files to a Windows server before but have never experienced the problems you are describing. Could you please list the Windows Server specifics, ie. version, etc. This is a Win 2008 R2 server with NFS shares enabled. I initially copied the backups from my former backup server to this Windows box, and that's when I noticed the file names had been changed.
IMHO, I think you might be better served by posting your inquiry to a Microsoft forum dedicated to the 2008 server framework.
