Hi, folks,

I’ve got it set up, and it alleges that it’s backing up Windows. However, when I try to run a restore for a Windows box, in bconsole, I
say restore, then from most recent, then the client, and I want to select files. It builds its directory tree (it says), then tells me it’s at c:/ (*Nix, not Win backslash)… and there’s nothing there. The fileset stanza says to back up
File = “c:/Users”

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a separate template stanza just for Windows?

  • Did successful backup report mention sizable amount of data transferred?
    In my case (bacula 5) when I go to restore from latest backup I have this:

    cwd is: /
    $ dir drwxrwx–T 1 root wheel 8192 2015-11-15 20:43:34 C:/
    $ cd C:/
    cwd is: C:/
    $ dir
    … d-wx-wx-wx 1 root wheel 0 2015-05-21 12:31:30 C:/Users/

    $ cd Users/
    cwd is: C:/Users/
    $ dir
    … drwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 0 2015-05-21 12:32:09
    C:/Users/Valeri Galtsev/

    $ cd Valeri\ Galtsev/
    cwd is: C:/Users/Valeri Galtsev/

    All as expected…

    In client config I have:

    FileSet {
    Name = “Note Set”
    Enable VSS = yes
    Include {
    Options {
    signature = MD5
    }
    Options {
    exclude = yes
    Ignore Case = yes
    wilddir = “C:/Temp”
    wilddir = “C:/Windows/Temp*”
    wilddir = “*Temporary Internet Files*”
    File = “C:/pagefile.sys”
    File = “C:/hyberfil.sys”
    }

    File = C:/
    }

    }

    I hope, this helps.

    Oh, it’s huge, I said, looking at where it’s being stored. I need to change that from full to incremental.

    However, I was beating my head on sqlquery, now I’m trying list, and still can’t figure out how to find a file. Or, for that matter, how to make the bloody thing page….
