Hi Rene,
While this option was intended for the support of Mac files, it affected
how TSM processed all files (there is no real way to distinguish between a
Mac file and a "native" NTFS file). If you have *any* file (Mac or not)
that contains non-English characters (umlauts, accents, etc.), then you
had to use USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO.

Andy,
I am not so sure about MAC only use of the parameter.
Under TSM server 4.1, we had serious problem restoring NT directories with
accented letters in their names. Problem was solved coding
USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO in the dsm.opt's !
Thanks for your explanation anyway.
