Hi Richard,

Check the management class to which the directories are bound, and see what
the RETEXTRA and VEREXISTS settings are.

Off the top of my head, this sounds like a topic covered in an older post:

As an alternative, the command line client can be used to do the PIT
restore.

Best regards,

Andy
