[Bug 1356548] Re: Duplicity restore fails with UTF-8 chars in --file-to-restore

 

Actually, I just figured that the restoration only doesn't work when
using the deja-dup backend, with the duplicity command line options, it
does indeed work as expected. I can restore the full directory without
missing or renamed files or just restore the specific single file
without a problem. It seems to be a problem with the deja-dup backend
then. Sorry for bothering.
