International language support
EMC Avamar 7.0 Release Notes 57
The following table describes additional international language support details in UNIX
and Linux environments.
Known limitations of local language support
Keep in mind the following known limitations of local language support:
◆ Cross-platform redirected restore of files and directories with international character
set names is not supported.
◆ Client machine hostnames must consist entirely of ASCII characters.
◆ The client software installation path must consist entirely of ASCII characters.
◆ Policy objects (such as, users, groups, datasets, schedules, retention policies,
notification profiles, and so forth) must consist entirely of ASCII characters.
◆ Log files do not correctly render non-ASCII characters.
◆ Error, warning, and informational messages incorrectly render non-ASCII characters,
both to the screen and to log files.
◆ Log files based on user-defined names (for example, database names) do not work
correctly.
◆ You cannot use non-ASCII characters in options and flags. If a flag or option takes a
file, folder, or identifier (for example, a database name) then that option is only
assured to work for ASCII names.
◆ Sorting is not localized. Sorting is strictly by byte-ordinal value.
◆ You cannot enter local language characters in the Avamar user interface using a
keyboard.
◆ The Avamar Management Console Command Line Interface (MCCLI) and avtar
support only ASCII arguments on the command line.

Encoding International language support details
EUC-JP You can back up and recover EUC-JP encoded files and directories with names in
the Japanese language on Solaris.
Note: EUC-JP encoded file and directory names do not render correctly in either
Avamar Administrator or Avamar Web Restore. This issue does not apply to the
client web UI available through Avamar Desktop/Laptop.
UTF You can back up and restore individual UTF-encoded files and directories with
file and directory names in supported local languages.
File and directory names appear in the local language in Avamar Administrator
and Avamar Web Restore.
