    Well.. I have just figure it out. Michal_Mikulik1 led me to the correct path, but it was simpler than i thought and it was indeed related to the encoding.

    I thought it needed to be UTF-8 but as i suspected bprestore it’s still a non-unicode app, so it needs the files / commands to be ANSI encoded.

    I just converted the filelist.txt to ANSI encoding and now it run successfully.

    Thanks everyone for your time to help me.

yeah, i remember in the past to have problems like that, but that as long been resolve in the GUI. Currently with GUI i have no problems restoring these files.. but with the number of files i need to restore it's almost impossible do it with the GUI. Using the bprestore was a very elegant solution to my situation, that fulfilled all my needs.

The support case it’s not possible currently because we are in the process of renovating the support contract. And this is something I need to complete asap.

I guess I will have to do an alternative root, where I restore everything (2 TB of data) to another location, and then I will use some copy tool like robocopy to restore the files I need.
