Rsync uses the native client charset coding (ie: it doesn't change anything). On a windows machine that is typically cp1250. BackupPC 3.0 uses utf8 on the server and can optionally translate to/from the client charset coding by setting $Conf{ClientCharset}, eg: $Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1250'; In western europe you might need to use cp1252. Unlike rsync, samba by default converts to/from utf8, so there is no need to have BackupPC 3.0 do any conversion for smb.
