Hello,

Bacula does work with Unicode names.  It works in UTF-8 (Unicode), which is 
what all Unix/Linux machines typically use as a default as well as MySQL and 
SQLite.  I've seen some cases similar to yours on PostgreSQL, where it is 
apparently using 16 bit Unicode.  I suspect you are using PostgreSQL, and if 
so you need to reconfigure it to use UTF-8.   When you figure out how to do 
so and get it to work, please let me know so that I can add it to the 
document.

Best regards,

Kern
