I'm having a problem with amanda backing up files across a samba share when they contain certain special characters (namely german umlauts, french accents, some apostrophes, that kind of thing).
If I use tar natively across the mounted share, it converts these characters into their unicode equivalents, but when amdump runs, it reports " (Called name not present) NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND"
Is this a limitation of amanda, or is there something I can change in the configuration that will allow this to work?
This is what I wrote some time ago:

...etc...
The above msgs have to do with the codepage setting of your samba. I still haven't figured out the exact details, but tweeking the smb.conf file helps. I had to add:
character set = ISO8859-1
to the global section. This solved that problem for win2000 and WinNT4 systems, but it introduced the problem to Win9x. That was a long time ago; and we have no Win9x anymore in your disklist. ===

Samba 3 is out now, and has a complete rewritten support for unicode characters in filenames etc. Maybe thre is decent solution following that path. I did not yet have the time to try it out.
