And hello again... I think I have solved the problem in a way which works in my environment.
Recap: The only remaining problem with umlauts was that when restoring via zip or tar download the umlauts were messed up. What I did (after more researching abaout how the zip or tar files are created): In /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm I added - after line 199 "-e = cp850",: $bpc->cmdSystemOrEvalLong(["$BinDir/BackupPC_tarCreate", "-h", $host, "-n", $num, "-sDA", $share, "-e = cp850", @pathOpts, @fileList ], - after line 239 dito: $bpc->cmdSystemOrEvalLong(["$BinDir/BackupPC_zipCreate", "-h", $host, "-n", $num, "-c", $In{compressLevel}, "-s", $share, "-e = cp850", @pathOpts, @fileList ], And everything works perfectly. But: this is the solution which works in /my/ environment, and since that is a hardcoded solution, it may not meet others' demands.
