Something weird is going on with Windows restores. I have been over the manual. I have been testing and recreating this problem and cannot figure out what is going on. This might be a bit lengthy but I don’t know how else to explain it.
Oh, I love long-winded stuff :-)
But since not everybody else might, I throe away most of your mail :-(
We have:
A problem I see with your job definitions (but I'm not absolutely sure here): The default job is named just like the real job. I remember reading about problems with such a setup.
Changing the configuration should be easy enough, for example call your default jobs DEF-Jobname and reference that in the jobs.
A restore of a windows fileset that only restores the directory, not the files in it:
It only restored 360 bytes and one file. This was C:/Stuff/Docs. There was nothing inside of it when restored. It seems bacula is backed up properly. I can’t understand why it can’t retrieve the files back. Any ideas? All of my unix backups work fine. It’s only for windows clients that this happens.
You could verify, after selecting Docs in C:/Stuff, that the contents in Stuff is also selected.
If it isn't, I'd guess the console or the director behave "funny", but... probably you should check the fileset in the restore job - it could exclude the files themselves somehow.
You could try to send the restore to another location, and see what happens.
Just some ideas...

I gladly send off my bacula-dir.conf if anyone needs it.
