The "ls" issue, is due to the wrong language Locale setting on the server. =
See what the "locale" command outputs. I guess it isn't something like "es.=
UTF-8". Set it to whatever the CentOS 5.0 machine below has.
So this isn't a BackupPC problem.

I have a similar problem with the Chinese support. Files backed up with rsy=
ncd would yield garbled file names when they are restored through Samba, or=
 vice versa.
At least this is a problem in V 3.0.0.=20
I'd think it is ok if you restore the files with rsyncd, ie. the same metho=
d as the backup process.

There are still issues with the Unicode support. Craig is aware of that.
