It's meant as a backup solution that isn't tied to Calibre. Anyhow, I figured out how to use Calibre to save a copy with the Unicode characters, instead of the awful transliteration which uses Chinese for everything, (Most books are in Japanese).
For reference to anyone who is new to Calibre and looking to do the same or need files names not maligned:
Set up file name format in preferences for save to disk, then use the save to disk feature to save to whoever you want, it will save it with the Unicode name.
