By default backuppc assumes UTF-8 as character set. Everything works fine
even if there are filenames containing special characters like German Umlaute.
With one exception: 
If there's a configuration entry like 

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  '/home1' => [
    '/company/Projekte',
    "/company/B\x{fc}ro"
  ]
};

the content of BackupFilesOnly will be correctly shown iin the we interface as
'/company/Büro' but this directory will never be included in the backup
unless both

$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'UTF-8';
$Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} = 'UTF-8';

have been set to 'UTF-8' as shown.
This does not spring to mind when you read the documentation for 
Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy}. Is there an explanation for this behavior?

Thanks
Hans
