Michael,

BackupPC stores file names and log contents using utf8.  Either
the Xfer method or BackupPC needs to convert to/from the client's
charset.

The Xfer method might or might not convert the client's charset to
utf8.  By default rsync/rsyncd will not.  By default smb will, but
it can be configured via the "unix charset" setting in smb.conf.

If you are using rsync/rsyncd, you need to specify the client charset
in $Conf{ClientCharset}.  The default is empty, which means BackupPC
does no charset conversion and it will try to display file names as
utf8 when they might be encoded some other way.  You might want
something like this:

    $Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1252';
