Hello all,

after reading documentation, searching google, trying (and failing) I 
hope someone on this list can cure my pain.

I have set up a new backuppc server (6 TB, Debian Squeeze, BackupPC 
3.1.0-9) backing up several Machines (Debian Squeeze, Lenny, Windows 
2007 Server) and basically everything works like a charme.

I only have a problem with umlauts. Let my tell you what I tried. I'm 
using localhost as an example client here.

System in UTF-8 (iso-8859-15 and iso-8859-1 are still available but not 
set as system default), $Conf{ClientCharset} default setting, transfer 
method is rsyncd.
Already on the filesystem the umlauts are not displayed correctly. And 
so also the webinterface is broken when displaying files with umlauts. 
When restoring via zip download, the zip is empty. When restoring via 
tar download, no file is delivered. Whyever.

System in de_DE@euro (UTF-8 and iso-8859-1 are still available but not 
set as system default), $Conf{ClientCharset} set to iso-8859-15: 
Webinterface ok, restoring via rsync ok, direct download of files via 
webinterface ok. Zip and tar restore via download work, but the restored 
files in the zip resp. gtar have messed up filenames again.

Since with system in de_DE@euro and $Conf{ClientCharset} set to 
iso-8859-15 basically everything works and since some systems to be 
backed are in iso-8859-15, I would like to stick with this settings.

The only thing is that delivery via zip/tar download is broken. I have 
not found any possibility to fix this.

I think I'm not the only one unsing BackupPC in a German environment :-) 
and so I would be very grateful if someone could help me out.

Thanks in advance and kind regards, Patrick

PS. I'm using BackupPC in SOHO environments since many years, but until 
now always with Win9/WinXP/Win7 machines via Samba and the server in 
iso-8859-15, and those problems have never occured. Despite of that 
know-how I have no idea how I can get this to work.
