The 1.38.5 and older versions of bextract on a Unix/Linux machine cannot read Win32 data. However, if I am not mistaken, the 1.39.6 (development code) of bextract does read Win32 data. This is still experimental. You will need to build this code, but you don't necessarily need to install it -- just run it from the build directory, and I am definitely not suggesting an upgrade at this point ! If for some strange reason, bextract doesn't read Win32 data, you can use the normal Bacula 1.39.6, which I am sure does restore Win32 data onto Unix/Win32 machines. Again, this is still experimental. However, I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you have backslashes in the path data as I doubt that this case was ever tested. > > Best regards > > René > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language > that extends applications into web and mobile media.
