No.
Actually I have two Windows clients which are backed up via rsyncd and Samba
respectively. The garbled file names show up if I restore files from one PC to
another.

Another problem I saw is related to the rsyncd module names or Samba share
names in non-European languages, at least Chinese. The modules or shares are
backed up ok. But when the restore is to be performed thru the CGI, the restore
option page would contain bad module/share names (two places: 1. first line; 2.
the destination share input box). It's only the module/share names that are
bad, the to-be-restored files' Chinese file names are displayed correctly.
