I am doing final tests with my bacula setup and ran into some weird
behavior.
I set up an autochanger storage and am currently using the same device
for backup and restore.
I did a backup of the entire partition E:/ and browsed the files.
Everything was there.
Then I tried to restore the files to test-folder (avoiding overwrite).
Bacula created the new Folder E:/Restore/ and the BAT told me the
restore was compelted successfully after about 10 minutes.
I opened the folder and it was empty though. Strangely enough, the
emount of disk space in use on the harddrive increased.
So far I don't have the slightest idea, what the problem may be... When
I first tested bacula on a virtual machine, only backing up 2 small
files, it worked perfectly fine.
When restoring an entire drive under windows, the created top folder will be hidden and marked as system file - so you need to enable "Show hidden files and folders" and deactive "Hide system files" in your explorer.
Kind regards
Julian
