Jean-Louis, thanks for the explanation, a bit steep for me ... What does it mean to me as a user? Will it get patched? Is it fixable? Will Amanda allow me to amrecover UTF8-named files without using wildcards? Francis tried to trace the problem with some patches already (in a private thread) .... I assume that not only german users face this issue, afai understand also users of other locales face these problems? Regards, Stefan
