where:
File space names and file names that can be in a different code page or locale than the server do not display correctly on the administrator's Web interface or the administrative command-line interface. The data itself is backed up and can be restored properly, but the file space or file name may display with a combination of invalid characters or blank spaces.
If the file space name is Unicode enabled, the name is converted to the server's code page for display. The results of the conversion for characters not supported by the current code page depends on the operating system. For names that TSM is able to partially convert, you may see question marks (??), blanks, unprintable characters, or "...". These characters indicate to the administrator that files do exist. If the conversion is not successful, the name is displayed as "...". Conversion can fail if the string includes characters that are not available in the server code page, or if the server has a problem accessing system conversion routines.
