Problems with umlauts in license name

#1

hi,

i have emailed you, but maybe some people have the problem too.
With my new personal license, i get the follwing error:

So please fix tha bugs with umlauts or change my name in my license. Thanks!

This is indeed caused by the unicode characters in the license name. I think I fixed the bug in version 1.1.1 but there is another place that I missed and if you run the backup command with the --email switch the bug will appear again.

I uploaded a new 1.1.4 build at http://acrosync.com/esxi/vertical (sha256: 76f8cb6680c8b71fb82ff84f6d799ee115445964cee276805dbd6bd4de8fe67a) that should work.

Hey!

Thanks!!
It seems to work. We will see at night…
Thanks!

#4

Thanks, it works. Backups will be created…
But there are no emails anymore.
the email switch works with the --test
i reconfiguered it and wait for it now.

Any ideas? i can’t find a log file…

#5

There is yet another place I missed…

Please try the latest build at http://acrosync.com/esxi/vertical (sha256: 28d42e2344755a25e8b0e77e506b2e45dada71e3ea66d160e51ff3f047210522).

Perfect it works now!
thanks!!!

in the email itself is the umlauts problem too :stuck_out_tongue: But that is cosmetics…

Another Question:
Is it possible to send ONLY failed emails?
