Can't convert filename using the specified NDMP.dialect, or invalid utf8 filename
We recently upgraded our backup infrastructure. I have following
NGS8- Used for NDMP backups
Data domain as VTL
and Media and Master server running Netbackup 7.6
When I back a few file systems I get the following error
Can't convert filename using the specified NDMP.dialect, or invalid utf8 filename
The backup jobs is successful. What is wrong here ?

There were few files in a users home directory with special characters which made the errors to come up.
Example files
ëÿ¿spt0141009
ëÿ.20141009
You should be able find the file by running the following command.
find <path> -inum <inode> -print
The inode will be gotten from the error message. Once you spot the file you should delete the files or rename them.
I used the following command to delete them.
find . -inum 108432 -exec rm -i {} \;
