PBS does not save polish characters

Hello,
I have Proxmox VE and PBS. I'm using the latter to create a full backup of a Windows Server 2019 VM. When I try to restore a single file, PBS doesn’t back up folders and files if they contain polish characters. I couldn’t find a solution online; does anyone know how to fix this? I tested it on two VMs.
 
Hi,

do you mean nothing gets restored at all order files that are downloaded have a weird name? Could you provide an example of such a file name?

Also, I am assuming that you are only talking about file restore. So when you restore the entire VM, files are till in place, right?

Could you also check if anything is logged when restoring such a file? Either in the task log or the journal of the node (`journalctl --since today` or similar).

Hi,
could be related to this bug in proxmox-file-restore, already fixed in the latest version of the Proxmox Backup Server. Please make sure you run an up to date version for both, PVE and PBS.

Edit: Also, if the issue persists also with the current version, you can use the map command as a workaround to restore single files, as described here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/f...r-no-supported-file-system.144225/post-699238
Thank you for your response. The issue is the same as in that article. The PVE and PBX versions are in the attached files.

Please post the output of pveversion -v from your PVE host and install available upgrades (on the PVE side).
