I really doubt it - how would the standard printf() know whether its 
argument was in MBCS or UTF-8 or any other encoding? My guess is that it 
requires the argument to be in platform default encoding (CP_ACP).

I'm happy to make bbackupquery use wprintf() on Windows with multibyte 
strings, without changing how it works on other platforms, and I'm working 
on that now.

Cheers, Chris.
