Hello, could you attach here the output of LANG=C df -P -k ? Do you have any external drive currently connected ? 🙂

Yes, external drives are connected.

[HorlogeSkynet]

So it looks like your Time Machine's backup volume paths contain somehow Unicode characters (recent system upgrade ? Or hostname change ?).

If you can edit project sources, or are able to Git clone it, could you try modifying disk.py to add encoding="utf-8" to subprocess.run call ?

[kndol]

I upgraded system to 14.0 recentely. And your answer is the solution for this problem.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll try to patch this ASAP 🙏
