[Bacula-users] Can't restore to Windows 2000.
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. Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Erik P.

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. -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

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, -- Regards, Erik P. Olsen. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
