Hi, let's start over.

That may or may not be related, but it's something to check. You are apparently using the web interface for a direct restore to the client system. a) Personally, I wouldn't do that, but you may have good reasons. b) You are possibly filling in some incorrect values into the web form. The arguments to BackupPC_tarCreate are directing it to - remove "/Path to file" from the paths in the backup and - add "/Path to file/filename.txt" in front of all paths. Is that what you want? The "filename.txt" seems misplaced, and it will likely be difficult to create a directory of that name on the target system if there happens to be a file of that name present, which might explain your error (or not). Also, there are no file name arguments, which should cause BackupPC_tarCreate to terminate with an error message. Strange. Note: the '-r' and '-p' arguments wouldn't be created if the two paths were equal (at least the code says so). > [...] > tarCreate: Done: 1 files, 237695 bytes, 0 dirs, 0 specials, 0 errors That sounds as if it had worked ... > tar:1596 Can't mkdir Path to filename: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_COLLISION ... and that doesn't mention "filename.txt". What's in the RestoreInfo.xxx file for the restore attempt?
