Re: [Bacula-users] How to restore when there is /./ in path

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/basedefs/xbd_chap04.html#tag_04_11

<cite>
The special filename dot shall refer to the directory specified by its
predecessor. The special filename dot-dot shall refer to the parent
directory of its predecessor directory. As a special case, in the root
directory, dot-dot may refer to the root directory itself.

Simple test shows what's going on:
$ mkdir test
$ mkdir test/./
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test/./’: File exists

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are 
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow, 
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity 
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
