It is located at <DRIVELETTER>:\SIS Common Store. It is not being backed
up. Backing up this area doesn't really solve the problem. There are
several issues:

1. Each file stored in the common area is named by UUID (e.g.
4c045966-5142-a3ef-d8d385e4ab0c.sis ). As far as I can tell there is no
way of knowing which of these files needs to be restored.

2. Only the system account has access to this area. This is fine during
backup as Bacula runs as system, but would cause a problem when I want
to restore a file back to it. I don't want to go playing about with
permissions of system folders.

What is the 'central location'? Is it backed up too?
