Hi Richard
Well, looking at the dirs and files I can see the following :-
'Files' are bound to the following backup copy group.
Version Data Exists - 3
Versions Data Deleted - 1
Retain Extra Versions - 180
Retain Only Version - 60
'Dirs' are bound to the following (this backup copy group was created for
something else but as far as I'm aware dirs automatically bind to the
backup copy group with the highest retention settings).
Version Data Exists - 3
Versions Data Deleted - 1
Retain Extra Versions - 180
Retain Only Version - 751
So, looking at the above I can see no reason why there would ever be a
situation where a required dir would not exist for a required file as we
always keep the only last remaining copy for 751 days.
Also, when using the GUI, I can still see the files when viewing
active/inactive, just not when adding in the point in time too.
Sorry, just struggling to get my head round this.
Many thanks for your help
Farren

This question comes up at least once a week, and almost always
involves GUI use in conjunction with faulty directory retention
policies, where the GUI needs to iteratively query the server for
directory structure information as it drills down through the file
system, and directories are missing. The client manuals, Technotes,
APARs, Oxford, and SHARE presentations tell of this. Here is what the
Mac client manual says:
Note: If there are no backup versions of a directory for the point-in-
time you specify, files within that directory are not restoreable
from the GUI. However, you can restore these files from the command
line.
