This reminds me of something I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I was using Webacula.
Some directories that should be there, were not shown in the restore selection list.
When I entered their path manually, it found them and everything looked OK from there on down.
I don't know if it was caused by webacula itself or the underlying bacula setup.

I appreciate that, the reason I brought it up is because someone had previously mentioned I should check it. All of my retention variables are set to 365 days and I am not up against that dead line yet. I
just can't find a reason as to why I can only restore directory structure (and even then only down to a certain level) and all the files below it are gone.
Thank you,

Since I was confused by this as well, I thought I'd jump in here
briefly. "File retention" really means how long the file records in the
database are kept. It has nothing directly to do with how long the
actual files are kept. The latter is a function of when the volumes are
recycled, which is controlled by volume retention. I don't know if this
is related to your issue, but I thought I'd point it out so that you
don't beat your head against the same wall that I did.
