NetBackup-RedHat2.6.18 7.6.0.4
There are a few files that I could not recognized e.g.: "5�" "6�" "7�" that will cause restoration failures. At first I though those files are corrupted so I choose another date for other backup images during date selection. A quick google search hinted that these could be chinese characters.
Including these files will result in "status: 186 - tar received no data" or "bpcd on backup01 exited with status 21: socket open failed"
How do I go about restoring these files? Thanks for any help.

If you are sure that the problem is Chinese characters, then maybe it is a java problem.
Follow the instructions of this tech note to change the java behavior.

or try to use a windows client to do the restore using "backup archive and restore" program or
Linux to windows and vice versa restore is not supported, but give it a try

hey
Try to restore one level above... this should work... just my two cents...

thanks @quebek @StefanosM
restoring one level above did it! Finally able to restore it albeit had to resort to CLI because of bug on java client 7.6 where it will truncate 2 char from source folder.
