If you're only doing backups and don't intend to access the copies often, you could just ignore any charset/locale/i18n issue and use only plain C locale. No iconv anywhere, etc. Use the same settings at both sides of course, so that neither the sender nor the receiver tries to do any translation. I use --no-8-bit-output --no-iconv. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
