Hi,
I want to know if it’s possible to make backup in tar.gz format, not in zip format. The reason is that I must do a server migration and I’m having problems with some files in the backup because they have spanish chars at name, like this

AT-Fundaci+?n-150×150.jpg –>> This file from a updraft backup (zip format)
AT-Fundación-150×150.jpg –>> This file from a test backup (tar.gz format)First file can´t not be found trough the web server
Both servers (actual and new) are linux systems and if i make a compressed file in tar.gz all is right but the zip format goes wrong. I have not shell access to actual server, (i just have DirectAdmin panel) so I must use the backup files of updraft because i have thousands of files and is not possible to do it through my control panel
How can I do?
Best regards,

Also: try adding this to your wp-config.php:
define(‘UPDRAFTPLUS_NO_BINZIP’, true);
Then run a new backup. Does that make a difference?
Best wishes,

These worked for me. i.e. I extracted the .tar.gz into my WordPress install, and backed it up with UpdraftPlus. I then unpacked the resulting zip file – and the file names were intact:
$ ll | head -4
total 56
