Re: [Bacula-users] Restore Problems - Bacula 5.2.13-9.el6 (Upgrade)

Hey Simone thanks for your input but I've always created an alternate directory (C:Restore) *before i do a restore job.
Also i normally use the default restore job and only needed to change (mod) the FileSet, Where and Restore client options for the respective client and my restores would be successful.

I manage to solve the problem by creating a new directory for my restores.

I think bacula maybe tired of me using the "C:/Restore" Directory to do my (test) restores, hence I created a new "C:/bacula" directory then send my windows restore jobs there and everything works fine, I can now see files, folders and all.

Thanks much.

Regards
Humphrey Bryant

I never had any problems doing reyesstores on 5.2.12 its only since I upgraded to 5.2.13, hope someone can shed some light on this issue (I'm backing up to File not tapes).

when restoring Windows files to another location that is not at the original spot and you have not removed the first part of the restore command you have to be careful.
I have to launch the "attrib -s" command on the restored folders to remove the system attribute. Behaviour for 5.2.12 and 5.2.13 should be the same regarding Windows relocated restores.

Further details here:

http://bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Restore_Command.html#SECTION002180000000000000000

Excerpt: "In some cases, it may not create the directories, and if it does since the File daemon runs under the SYSTEM account, the directory will be created with SYSTEM ownership and permissions. In this case, you may have problems accessing the newly restored files."
