Certain versions prior to the current 5.0.3 client had an issue where they marked the directories as hidden.  You could cd into them from a command prompt but you couldn't see them from explorer or a 'dir' command.

See if you can cd into the directory you expect the files at.  If that's the case, upgrade all your windows clients to the 5.0.3 version and next time that won't be an issue.

Hi all,

I've configured the Windows client as per the documentation found on the
Internet. The only intended use for this client is for restore purposes,
as the data backed up comes from the Linux box, which gets the Windows
data from rsync. Anyway....

When I try to restore, I don't get any particular problem. The Director
eventually send a message telling that the restore went well. In my
test, 7 files expected, 7 files "received". But, on Windows, no files at
all.

So, I expect that the problem comes from either the folder structure on
the Windows side, or on the Where clause from my Restore job.

Let's say I would want to restore to c:\tmp\bacula-restores. How should
the Where clause be typed?

Thanks!

Christian...
