I am sure I have done this before, but for some reason today it has started
being weird.

Scenario: I am restoring files from a class type MS-Windows-NT to a Solaris
system.
Individual files were selected for restore (not whole directories) even when
a whole directory is chosen, this behaviour persists
On the 'destination directory' the option to relocate all directories
maintaining structure is selected.

When the restore is started, we find that the files for the restore are not
actually 'relocated'. Instead, they are attempting to  be placed on /E/...,
which (as you can guess) fills the root partition.

If we had selected alternate directories for each selection, it works fine,
but when we have a few dozen files to restore scattered all over the file
system, this isn't such a great option as every file must have a destination
specified.

Is this a limitation of NetBackup, that it cannot do a cross OS restore with
relocation maintaining directory structure properly? I am sure I have done
this before, but perhaps not with two different OS's as above...
