1. The MSDN article describes the naming of files, but I am not sure what is the "magic" it suggests...?
Once the article starts explaining about the \\?\ prefix, that seemed like a terrible hack to me.... :-/
2. I looked over the archives and wiki for "unicode" but did not find anything on how to switch the backup source to it. Do you have a more specific pointer by any chance?
Sorry for the confusion, I meant the actual Python source of rdiff- backup. It will need to use Unicode for its operations in order to support long filenames on Windows (since the Windows non-Unicode API is limited to < 260 characters, as the MSDN article explains).
Moving the Python source to use rdiff-backup goes hand-in-hand with supporting Python 3, so this effort will take some time.
