Have you tried the same format as the FileSet shoukd be?, e. g.: "D:/"
If it doesn't work you can try this workaround I found in the manual:
*Strip Prefix = directory*This directive applies only to a Restore job and
specifies a prefix to remove from the directory name of all files being
restored. This will use the File Relocationfilerelocation feature
implemented in Bacula 2.1.8 or later.
Using Strip Prefix=/etc, /etc/passwd will be restored to /passwd
Under Windows, if you want to restore c:/files to d:/files, you can use :
Strip Prefix = c:
Add Prefix = d:
