@clarkej please will appreciate your help

One of your directories has an ‘unrecognized’ character say ñ ?

This explains more python - UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 23: ordinal not in range(128) - Stack Overflow

To find it this may help

frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ mkdir sites/ñññ
frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ find . -type d | grep -P -n '[^\x00-\x7F]'
2822:./sites/ñññ

Hi clarkej,
I am getting the same issue, but I couldn’t find any of my directory having ñ character.

Don’t just limit your search to directory names with ñ - do check for all non-ascii characters in both directories and filenames.

In my previous post the find expression code was just a search to find ñ as a test!

@clarkej @mtajammul i guess your problem seems to to be not defining utf character set in perl as this was my problem before with dropbox and bench manager, both throw the same error as yours only different is the character that it recognizes is different ( different ascii code), may be you are using another language next to english, if so you could just add it to perl as utf language and it will automatically fix things for you
this link will explain more and guide you more Dropbox Backup question - UnicodeDecodeError arabic locale - #24 by a.elhaidary just check what other language you are using and add it, hope it helps and may fix your problem
