Can't create a backup to repository that contains non-ASCII characters in path. #2332
Description
Description
Steps to reproduce
I can reproduce this issue either by creating new repository, or adding existing repository.
- Click "New Repository..."
- Click "Choose a local folder" button, and pick a directory that contains some non-ASCII characters
- Enter some passphrase, and Click "Add"
Expected behavior
It should be able to create a backup in that repository, just like the others.
Actual behavior
Vorta says "Your repo passphrase was stored in a password manager which is no longer available. Try unlinking and re-adding your repo.". and I can't create a new backup. unlinking and re-adding repository doesn't help.
