Well, if you started with a code page other than UTF-8 and you (or someone) created files under that code page, then you will most likely have non-UTF-8 filenames on your system. If you are backing up any Samba partitions or NFS partitions on other machine (both bad ideas, IMO) you are likely to run into non-UTF filenames. Finally, depending on what software you are using (i.e. non-UTF-8 aware software), it is quite easy to create non-UTF-8 filenames regardless of what LOCALE is set to. > > Magnus Hagander wrote: > >>> (...) > >>> > >>> Does bacula support UTF-8 ? > >> > >> Yes, but there are problems with PostgreSQL.
