Are you able to try a backup on the target machine? The logs you gave
appear to show bacula itself trying to restore the files when it should
actually be giving them to the plugin to do the restore.

Did you do any file redirection when restoring? That could cause some
problems and shouldn't be required for the Exchange plugin - Exchange
should figure out for itself where the files go.

It's quite possible that this is a bug - I don't think I've ever tested
the scenario of doing the exchange backup on one machine and restoring
to another. I need to be absolutely sure that the plugin itself works on
the target machine (eg that a test backup works) before I look too
deeply at it.

Thanks

James
