I haven't tested that yet, was busy on other things, I have confirmed
that the software mirror had nothing to do with it, as files restored
from the D: which is a hardware raid have the same issue. next test will
be restoring to the windows machine. I erred above though, I list 7.0 as
the server Bacula version, the correct version is 7.2. I know I have
done restores to the FreeBSD client of data on the Windows machine
before, but it may have been prior to version 7.x branch.
I do this the majority of the restores as specifying the alternate path
for windows has been problematic finding a syntax it likes to specify
the c:\ d:\ etc to start with.
