My backups includes photos and files form the late nineties when I used dos/windows. At some point, their encoding got messed up and many file names are now not UTF-8.

I can’t be bothered to fix the names (it’s not realistically a problem), but if backup software can’t handle them, then it can’t handle backup up my data.
