Hi,

I've got a problem that I can't seem to find an answer for:

faubackup is a quasibackup system which keeps versions of files
available on your hard drive hardlinked to each other.  It is an
excellent program and works wonderfully.  

I want to use it to keep online backups of our files in a read-only
samba share so that if a user deletes a file they can just get it from
the "backups" share.

The only problem is that faubackup stores the files in a directory
with the format "2002-06-11 at 01:05:21" which windows doesn't like
reading.

Is it possible to get samba to remap the ":" characters to "." so that
windows users can read the date/time of the backup with no problems?
