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.
Changed this but it had no effect on the restore.
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.
The problem seems to be when the restore is called it only inserts 1 file into the tree: Here is the console output:
#restore
Enter JobId(s), comma separated, to restore: Unexpected question has been received. 620 You have selected the following JobId: 620
Building directory tree for JobId 620 ... 1 Job, 1 files inserted into the tree.
You are now entering file selection mode where you add (mark) and remove (unmark) files to be restored. No files are initially added, unless you used the "all" keyword on the command line. Enter "done" to leave this mode.
The backup completes ok with this output: 31-Mar 10:24 dmstore-dir: Start Backup JobId 620, Job=RADAR.2005-03-31_10.24.24 31-Mar 10:21 radar-fd: Cannot open c:/Stuff/Docs/Accounts.xls: ERR=Access is denied. . 31-Mar 10:21 radar-fd: Cannot open c:/Stuff/Docs/WebserverAccts.xls: ERR=Access is denied. .
But in your last mail, such a message did not appear... Did you change anything in between the tries?
Anyway, this message tells you that the client file daemon coldnot write the restored file. Access rights or an open file, I'd say.

So it seems that the something is happening when recover is inserting the records for marking. I don't know whether the databe isn't holding the records but I don't know how to debug that. Can I query the db (sqlite) to find all files in job 620?
Sure. As I don't know sqlite and its tools, use sqlquery on the console.
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.
The restore job uses the same fileset named "TestSet" as the backup.Is this a problem?
Hardly. I guess that it might be a problem if it used a fileset which excluded something.
You could try to send the restore to another location, and see what happens.
Tried this with the same outcome. I ended up with C:/Stuff/Docs/tmp/c//Stuff/Docs with nothing in it.
Basically the sam, I'd say.
It looks as though the restore bahviour did change in between.

Just some ideas...

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