No. This message is about backup, not about restore.
You get it if you rdiff-backup from windows and the destination is
linux on a ntfs partition.

If I do the same, but on a "normal" ext3 partition like destination, I
get no error but the '?' on the file names.

>From windows (the same one I start the backup from), I tried to
restore a copy of file with the '?' charachters in the name.
I get not files.

In the previuos mail I attached the log. May you tell me if is there?

I write it here but is less clear than reading from file:
