Hi, I suppose you're referring to Bat. If yes, do the following: Settings => Preferences Uncheck "Check messages", or leave it checked but insert a very long interval (like 3600 seconds) below. This is not enough, though. If you have unread messages you'll still get the error on restore. Open an ssh (i.e. command line) connection to the bacula server. Launch the bconsole command and type the "messages" command. This will clear the unread messages queue in bacula. Now you can connect with BAT restore files without the ".messages" error. This is the procedure that currently works for me.
