Unfortunately, fixing the problem is not so easy. Beginning with version
1.38.8, Bacula will no longer easily accept backslashes in File directives,
which should help in the future to avoid this problem.
One user reported success in restoring such broken backups by building the
Linux version 1.39.x development code (there is no need to actually install
it), then using bextract to extract the files to a Linux system. Note, this
will not work on version 1.38, it requires version 1.39. I would
additionally recommend that you create a .bsr file using the restore command
in 1.38.x and then at the yes/mod/no prompt, copy that file to a safe place
then answer the question with "no". You can then use the .bsr file thus
generated to efficiently restore only those files you actually need with the
1.39.x bextract (which knows how to extract Win32 files to Linux/Unix). You
must also use your production bacula-sd.conf with bextract and ensure that
the Storage daemon is not running ...
