Bacula always restores symlinks if they are backed up.

If you want a clean restore, I suggest deleting that folder first. If the files did not exist last week then that would also explain why it didn't give any errors then. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
