How Arcserve Backup Supports Multiple Code Pages

A code page is a map of characters as they relate to a particular language. If the Arcserve Backup server resides in an environment where different languages and their character sets are running on other computers, the Backup Manager and the Restore Manager may not be able to interpret and display recognizable text in the source tree.

When you encounter this situation, you can specify any code page supported in your environment. The code page lets Arcserve Backup interpret the information and display the text in a format that is recognizable to you.

When you specify a code page at the node or volume level, Arcserve Backup applies the characteristics of the code page to all child volumes, directories, and so on. Although code pages do not affect Arcserve Backup functionality, Arcserve Backup cannot present a code page for more than one language at any time.
