Here are the pertinent parts of bacula-dir.conf: Job { Name = "Sophos" Type = backup Pool = Daily Full Backup Pool = Weekend Schedule = "Cycle_S" Client = sophos-fd Level = differential Storage = Internal Fileset = "Sophos_One" Messages = Standard Priority = 10 SpoolData = yes Write Bootstrap = "/bacula/bin/working/BackupCatalog.bsr" } Job { Name = "RestoreSophos" Type = Restore Client = sophos-fd FileSet = "Sophos_One" Storage = Internal Pool = Daily Messages = Standard } FileSet { Name = "Sophos_One" Include { Options { signature = MD5 } File = c:/ } } Schedule { Name = "Cycle_S" Run = Differential mon-thu at 17:15 } Client { Name = sophos-fd Address = 10.1.0.5 FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = "filedaemon" File Retention = 30 days Job Retention = 6 months AutoPrune = yes } Here is the bacula-fd.conf on the Windows server: FileDaemon { # this is me Name = sophos-fd FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director WorkingDirectory = c:/bacula/working Pid Directory = c:/bacula/working } The only difference between this and my exercise is that the backup job was defined as full with Weekend being the default pool. When I run Restore and choose the correct job number, it declares that there are 14,694 files, as I mentioned, but I can neither see nor mark them. -- Tks n rgds, Richard White CNE6 Network Engineer Mason County, Washington 360-427-5501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
