Yes that seems to be the problem or maybe rather then filesystem,
system encoding is the problem.
Yes. And there is nothing rdiff-backup can do about that without
extensive re-working. (Nor, should it really be expected to, I think.)
Using rdiff-backup over ssh to or from Windows is the recommended,
and best, solution not only because it fixes the filenames, but
because it
restores the Windows metadata as well (which Linux/ext3 does not
preserve on
its own).
But I am using rdiff-backup + plink (ssh).
Correct. The files are fixed on the *restore* ... no Unix software is
capable of implementing the Windows-1250 filenames on the Linux
destination, unless the OS + filesystem cooperate. And even if the OS
+ filesystem cooperated for the filenames, the other Windows-only
attributes could only be fixed on the restore anyway. So, it's
important to use rdiff-backup for the restore unless 100% impossible.
