I give up. I believe I have tried all possible combinations to have
bacula-fd.exe restore files correctly on windows 2000.
My setup is linux FC3 with bacula 1.38.5 and bacula-fd.exe 1.38.4 on
Windows 2000 and I invariably get this error message:
19-Mar 10:21 epowork-fd: RestoreFiles.2006-03-19_10.12.59 Error:
c:\cygwin\home\kern\bacula\k\src\win32\findlib\../../findlib/create_file.c:
241 Could not create /tmp/bacula-restores/D/\Images\Poloskade/DSC_0066.JPG:
ERR=The system cannot find the path specified.
I have had bacula-fd.exe run as SYSTEM, Administrator, normal user with
admin properties and as backup operator. Same error message in all cases.
As I interpret the message, bacula-fd.exe cannot create/find subpath
\Images\Poloskade. Is it really so that I have to create manually all paths
to be restored? This would sound strange since c:\tmp\bacula-restores\D\
was created first time by bacula. And it would be unbearable if I was to
restore a large part of the windows disk.
I believe others have succeeded in performing such restores and since I
have exhausted all thinkable possibilities I have given up trying to find a
solution myself. Please help. I am probably doing something wrong or
perhaps missing dependent programs.
It looks to me like you have most likely specified some paths using Windows
path separators (\)rather than Unix/Linux path separators (/). Very likely
this is in your File = specifications.
This is my happiest day. I have just verified that you are absolutely right. I
changed the filenames from \ to / and now it works like a charm. I am right now
preparing the config files for the first comprehensive back-up runs. What a
relief. I have been without back-up of my windows boxes far too long and that is
over now. Tallyho :-)
Thanks a tremendous lot,
