If you use characters outside the base ASCII set in user or database names
or passwords, it's up to you to ensure that those characters are always
sent the same way in connection requests. Postgres can't do any encoding
conversion on connection requests since it doesn't know what character set
the client is using. Presumably what's happening here is that the backup
script isn't running with the same code page you used when creating the
password.
