I fear that this might be a bug.
Sorry, this was quite short. To verify my assumption, I created a simple FileSet that contains only one FIFO. I used three separate machines: One Director + SD, one FD (read, FIFO initially created here) and one other FD as restore target. When I backup from and restore to the same FD, the FIFO works. When I backup from one FD and restore to another, a read from the FIFO returns nothing. Could you please verify this?
