Good day!

Sorry for my English.

When I backing up files and folders with russian names, they are backed up.
But I have some trouble with index files. All russian characters look like
/\356\317\327\301\321 \320\301\320\313\301/
/\356\317\327\301\321 \320\301\320\313\301 (2)/
... and e.t.c.

I tried to exec command /bin/tar -tf /tmp/some_tar_whit_russian_names.tar
2>/dev/null | sed -e 's/^\.//'>/tmp/123.txt from amanda in bash. And it
looks fine. When I tried to exec this command (/bin/tar -tf
/tmp/tar_rus.tar 2>/dev/null | sed -e 's/^\.//'>/tmp/123.txt) from crontab
of amanda and have bad results like: /\356\317\327\301\321
\320\301\320\313\301/
/\356\317\327\301\321 \320\301\320\313\301 (2)/
... and e.t.c.

I go next. And find that this depend on ENVIRONMENT Variable "LANG". When i
try to modify crontab for amanda. I add two lines LANG="ru_RU.KOI8-R" and
LANGUAGE="ru_RU.KOI8-R". And command /bin/tar -tf /tmp/tar_rus.tar
2>/dev/null | sed -e 's/^\.//'>/tmp/123.txt running from crontab of amanda
works fine.

After that I modify ENVIRONMENT Variable "LANG" in crontab of amanda user.
But amdump which create index files still not working correctly. And create
index file like /\356\317\327\301\321 \320\301\320\313\301/
/\356\317\327\301\321 \320\301\320\313\301 (2)/
... and e.t.c.

Have you any suggestions how to decide this problem? May be I can set
Variable "LANG" in amdump? How to do this?
