The 'where' functionality of restore is somewhat broken, because it simply
prepends the original path instead of (partially) replacing it.
- if you change 'where' to '/' (or have this as the default), the restore
will overwrite the original.
- if you don't have '/' as default and don't change 'where',
'c:/foo/bar.txt' from a Windows client may end up restored in a location
like 'C:\mnt\nas\bacula\restores\c\foo\bar.txt'. To work around this you
need separate restore stanzas for each client.
- the closest you can get to restoring in an another location is if you
change 'where' to e.g. '/tmp' or 'd:/', in which case your '/foo/bar.txt'
or 'c:/foo/bar.txt' backups will end up as '/tmp/foo/bar.txt' or
'D:\c\foo\bar.txt' restores, respectively. Bacula will under no
circumstance replace the original path, so even 'd:/foo/bar.txt' will end
up as 'D:\d\foo\bar.txt'.
