The 'where' functionality of restore is somewhat broken, because it simply prepends the original path instead of (partially) replacing it. - if you change 'where' to '/' (or have this as the default), the restore will overwrite the original. - if you don't have '/' as default and don't change 'where', 'c:/foo/bar.txt' from a Windows client may end up restored in a location like 'C:\mnt\nas\bacula\restores\c\foo\bar.txt'. To work around this you need separate restore stanzas for each client. - the closest you can get to restoring in an another location is if you change 'where' to e.g. '/tmp' or 'd:/', in which case your '/foo/bar.txt' or 'c:/foo/bar.txt' backups will end up as '/tmp/foo/bar.txt' or 'D:\c\foo\bar.txt' restores, respectively. Bacula will under no circumstance replace the original path, so even 'd:/foo/bar.txt' will end up as 'D:\d\foo\bar.txt'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
