I think it's a message from 'tar'. (That's because that's what it says. :) It's not what I'd call a bug, it's the unfortunate result of the many changes to the capabilities of both utilties and filesystems over the time that they've been in use. There can be ambiguities when strings are translated between some character sets, and you really don't want that kind of ambiguity in file names. What's your output from 'locale'? Just a stab in the dark but you might try UTF-16, as mentioned here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/tar-cant-translate-pathname.32262/ Life was so simple when everything was done with 7-bit ASCII codes... -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
