It is the second time that i come to you guys, the 1st one the answer came like from the Gods of Perl, not just from Monks =).

This question still concerned about Amanda Backup and bugs about weird caracters from my language (portuguese).

/usr/libexec/amanda/application/amsamba act like a filter for smbclient (app for backup windows shares) output, parsing lines to find errors and other usefull information.

The problem that still happening is:

Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/NT_STATUS_OK opening remote file design_grafico_17a_legislatura - deputadosdep_carlosantonioÅ3CT VISITADOSmosaico.ai ( <-- HERE design_grafico_17a_legislatura - deputadosdep_carlosantonioÅ3CT VISITADOS)/ at /usr/libexec/amanda/application/amsamba line 743, <GEN1> line 4.]

Line 743: return if $line =~$line =~ /Server not using user level security and no password supplied./;

Full code: https://github.com/zmanda/amanda/blob/master/application-src/amsamba.pl

How can i avoid this error guys?

Im not a programer =), so i realy need you.

After fix this i will submit a patch =).

UPDATE:

I UNDERTOOD THE PROBLEM

A folder with name "2013" is transformed in "Å3" because of "\2013"

I need to be sure that $line values wont be transformed like this.

UPDATE 2:

Im trying to solve this with:

return if m/\Q$line\E/ =~ m/\Q$line\E/ =~ /Server not using user level security and no password supplied/;

Tomorrow i will know if this fix the Amanda Backup.

SOLVED

To use m/\Q$line\E/ solved Amanda Backup problem.
