I cannot do that until I either mark or (thanks for telling me about "add") that path. dir or ls shows zip until I do.
dir
<snip> And it's still the same - it does not show the two textfiles in the directory, it only shows directories that are *not* there. It's as though the index is screwed.
Potential differences:
bareos instead of bacula
my version is 5 (bacula 7 is current; I'm not certain if it has usable Win client though - didn't check lately).
If I were to speculate I would say that what you see may come from "too much work" done on client side, like packing whole directories ("folders" as I should have used MS windows language), and sending the whole thing to backup server, but I most likely will be wrong about that as: the stuff that walks you trough directory tree comes from database, which is filled I bet by director (receiving infor. from fd), no matter that files are being sent by fd to sd. Anyway, I would try to remove compression wherever it is configured and see if that makes any difference.
But you probably need bareos _expert_, not just bacula _user_ to find the solution.
Incidentally, what happens if you request to restore all ("add all" will be the only command you need, then say "done").
Good luck!
