Don't despair. The following is from a recent post by Kan in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xxcopy/message/4863

"Because we have more urgent work in front of us. For example,
we are working hard on the XP-Clone project which allows
XXCOPY users to have a bootable backup on the second disk.
That one has a very high priority. Secondly, we need to
make the security-info transfer feature more bullet-proof.
Third, XXCOPY cannot handle Unicode based filenames well.
This is also very important."

The problem is known, it's just that the solution hasn't been
made yet.
