Scott,
I noticed you stated you changed your bootstrap file after selecting the
file to be restored.
By any chance did you change it to the one created during the backup
process?
If so, as I understand it (And I could be wrong) you just told the
system to restore all the files recorded in that file.
The selection mode should build it's own bootstrap file, containing only
the file you asked for. (You should see a message to this effect once
you enter 'done' I believe).
Try it without changing the bootstrap file and see if it makes a difference.

I am trying a restore for the very first time, so this may just be user
error, but I got strange results when trying to restore a single file to a
Windows XP client.
I ran the WX-Console program from the target machine (Windows XP). I went
into restore mode and I marked a single file for restore from the root of
the C:\ drive. If I ran lsmark the correct file was returned. If I ran
ls the directory was displayed and the single file was prefixed with an
"*". I ran the count command and the response was that 1 file is selected
for restore. All of this looks correct to me so I issue the done command.
The restore job needs to be modified so I change the Bootstrap file, the
client name, Where = / (to put back the file where it came from) etc,
until job parameters look correct. I then launch the job.
The restore kicks off and the file I selected is restored with no problem.
Seems good, right? Well here is the kicker: Unfortunately the restore
continues going through the entire FileSet. I can not tell if the job is
just reading files, or if it is actually restoring files. Whatever the
case may be, I do not understand why this would happen. Once the single
file was restored I would have thought the job would have completed
sucessfully. I have yet to let the job run all the way through because it
scares me that all the files keep scrolling on the console and the Storage
Device is continuosly active. I am almost certain it was restoring the
other files based on events that happened during the restore, though I do
not have valid proof and I am too nervous to test.
Is this normal? Is this user error? Is this a bug? Anyone know what is
going on?
I went ahead and tested because I thought the damage was already done. In
fact I did the same restore from the director's console just to see if it
made a difference. The results from the director's console were exactly
the same as the target's console. Also, I proved other files are
definitely getting restored even after only 1 file was marked for
restoration.
I am using disk as my storage device in case it makes a difference.
I am almost certain I am using the correct settings for the restore job,
so I have no idea what is going on.
Anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thanks.
Scott
