I'm glad you found a solution. It is probably the best one for now. The issue is rather a nightmare, because on Linux you can probably create two files that differ only in their canonicalization. :-( Possibly Bacula needs to have an option (per fileset?) that controls unicode canonicalization/comparison, but it potentially spreads across the FD, Director and any restore guis. __Martin Using Tomcat but need to do more?
