Hmmmm...interesting idea..I never thought of that one...will have to investigate it. Would the idea of the restore path of D:/Fedora work as I mention a few lines down?? >> In Unix I know I can change paths to different drives as they all >> appear to be one structure - /whatever could point to a different >> drive than /here and you don't know that from looking at the path. >> How can I do that for a Windows restore?

I'll try again more simply: Say I have a Drive C, D and E and I want to restore all of them in the same job . Is that possible or must I run a job for C one for D and one for E so that the material goes back on the proper device. >You could suggest such a feature, of course, although I'd rather think >this would be a software deployment feature and not strictly backup / >restore.
