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!
