What exactly do you mean by "has a big problem" ? Do you get an error ?
If so, which one (please copy it exactly) ? Or do those files
silently gets dropped from catalog ? Or something else ?
Please explain in more detail what do you do exactly, and what do you
get (and what you were expecting, if it's not obvious).

Also, what is your database backend for bacula (name and version) ?

I think that recent versions of bacula (last one is 5.0.1) should
work out of the box with your files (but you might need to nuke the
old catalog database, ie. do purge / install instead of upgrade. Or
might not, dunno).

Over here, bacula 5.0.1 director/SD with bacula-fd 2.4.4 (both
servers and clients on debian, though), backs up and restores files
containing Croatian letters in them (šđčćž ŠĐČĆŽ) without problems;
so I would expect it to work with Slovak and Czech letters too.

Note: your server (DIR, SD) must have same of newer versions of
bacula than your FD.
