Hi, together,

I've some problems backing up NT shares using smbclient/smbtar which 
is part of SAMBA. When the filename contains a german umlaut (i.e.
�, �, �, �), an error occurs when amanda receives the
files from the PC. Excerpt from mail report:

...
/-- devwage700 //devwagwoce7621/backup1$ lev 1 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [devwage7001://devwagwoce7621/backup1$ level 1]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/local/bin/smbclient
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/local/bin/smbclient -f... -
sendbackup: info end

sendbackup: end
\--------

Any idea? I tried to play around with the configuration on either the 
amanda and the samba side, but without success.

My configuration:
Amanda version 2.4.2p2 @ Solaris 8
Samba 2.2.2 @ Solaris 8
NT 4.0 SP6 shares

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

With kind regards,
Bjoern Briel
