[Samba] Samba converting character set from old Server to new Server

[JJunge at paritaet-th.de]

Hy,

I have a SMB Server runing for 2 Year, now is the time to move to a new
more powerful machine . I set up the old smb Server without character set
convertion. Now, I'd like to introduce character set conversion on the new
server.

So, how do I move the files from old to new server with keeping permission,
creating and touch date, but translating the character set.

Scenarios:

- Copiing with rsync: Keeps the permissions etc. , but does no translation.
- Copiing via smb: Does the translation, but will not keep the permissions.

The old smb.conf does not use charset conversion an the new uses:

# smb.conf
client code page = 850
character set = ISO8859-1

Any solutions?

Cheers
JJ
