CentOS - Nov 2015 - OT: bareos

Hi, folks,

    I've got it set up, and it alleges that it's backing up Windows.
However, when I try to run a restore for a Windows box, in bconsole, I
say restore, then from most recent, then the client, and I want to
select files. It builds its directory tree (it says), then tells me
it's at c:/ (*Nix, not Win backslash)... and there's nothing there.
The fileset stanza says to back up
   File = "c:/Users"

    Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a separate template stanza just
for Windows?

Did successful backup report mention sizable amount of data transferred?
In my case (bacula 5) when I go to restore from latest backup I have this:


cwd is: /
$ dir
drwxrwx--T   1 root     wheel           8192  2015-11-15 20:43:34  C:/
$ cd C:/
cwd is: C:/
$ dir
...
d-wx-wx-wx   1 root     wheel              0  2015-05-21 12:31:30  C:/Users/
...
$ cd Users/
cwd is: C:/Users/
$ dir
...
drwxrwxrwx   1 root     wheel              0  2015-05-21 12:32:09 
C:/Users/Valeri Galtsev/
...
$ cd Valeri\ Galtsev/
cwd is: C:/Users/Valeri Galtsev/
...


All as expected...

In client config I have:

FileSet {
  Name = "Note Set"
  Enable VSS = yes
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = MD5
    }
    Options {
      exclude = yes
      Ignore Case = yes
      wilddir = "C:/Temp"
      wilddir = "C:/Windows/Temp*"
      wilddir = "*Temporary Internet Files*"
      File = "C:/pagefile.sys"
      File = "C:/hyberfil.sys"
    }

    File = C:/
  }

}

I hope, this helps.

Oh, it's huge, I said, looking at where it's being stored. I need to
change that from full to incremental.

However, I was beating my head on sqlquery, now I'm trying list, and still
can't figure out how to find a file. Or, for that matter, how to make the
bloody thing page....
