I am running backuppc 4.3.0 on Linux Ubuntu 18.04

I have a file copied over from an old Windows installation to my Linux
server with name:

-rwx------ 1 user1 user1  28672 May 11  2005 'r'$'\351''ponse.doc'

This file gives an error under backuppc as follows:
     [sender] cannot convert filename:
     user1/docs/r\#351ponse.doc (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or
wide character)

Note that rsync itself has no trouble copying this file when I run
rsync manually.

Also, interestingly, this same file backed up fine on my old Fedora 12 server
running backuppc 3.x.

Any ideas why backuppc is having trouble with this file?

Almost definitely because the encoding is invalid relative to the locale. The simplest thing to do is to rename the file so that it's a valid filename.
