But that method will only work well on either small amounts of data or on a local network. The problem is that the whole contents of the files have to be transferred over the network to be compared, while if you sync over SSH the files can me hashed locally on each machine and unison can then just compare the hashes (please correct me if I'm wrong!).

I just synchronize to a local samba folder which is mounted with iocharset=iso8859-15 and everything works perfectly. I still hope for a UTF8 capable stable version soon. Greetings Alex Hi everybody,

I still hope for a UTF8 capable stable version soon.

Or maybe not… by LAV http://stayinsync.net/2009/03/my-backup-host-is-psychic/comment-page-1/#comment-26 LAV Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:58:10 +0000 http://stayinsync.net/?p=57#comment-26 Well, I got my Dreamhost account specifically for the 50GB backup, so for me it wasn't "free" in that sense. I know it doesn't come with guarantees, but you have to admit that a backup service loosing all their customers' data is pretty severe, right? (In the end I think they recovered some of it though.) And also I was pretty upset about the lack of information in their status blog on what was going on. I uploaded new data many times just to have it wiped clean again the next day.

After all, they added it on as a completely free service for users, and they're pretty upfront about it coming with no guarantees. Personally, I was pretty pleased to get 50G free space, I can now do offsite backups of my home computers, and it hasn't cost me a cent. Don’t you think you’re being a bit harsh on DreamHost?

I didn't try compiling it, but I've now reworked things to use rsync, since 'proper' bi-directionality wasn't essential for my setup. In light of your comments, I'll definitely keep glancing back at Unison in hope of native support though. :) Okay, thanks for the reply.

Have you tried downloading the source and compiling yourself? I guess that could be worth a shot. Also I should mention that now there is more serious work being done to make Unison Unicode-compatible. I haven't been monitoring the mailinglists very close lately, but I think we can expect at least some beta or development version pretty soon. Check out the unison-hackers (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/lists.html) list if you want to find out more. The binary might only be working on Leopard, I’ve never tried it on Tiger.

I'm having trouble with it though. :'( I don't really know what I'm doing, at all, but thought I had followed the quick install okay. I'm hoping to use a Windows client with OS X server. But when just running the unicode Unison from a bash shell to check it's working I get "Bus error". Any ideas why? I'm using Tiger, and I've just put the binary in /usr/bin and the Camomile files into /usr/local/share/camomile as above.
