Sometimes I want to do a = test restore to a local directory to check that a job can be restored = correctly. I had thought that in Step 4 of the restore wizard I would write = =E2=80=9C/tmp/restore=E2=80=9D as the restore directory and the selected = file/directory would be restored to my local /tmp/restore directory. This isn=E2=80=99t working though. I get an error =E2=80=9CERR=3Dno = space left on device=E2=80=9D. Could it be that the "restore directory" = is relative to the "restore to client=E2=80=9D selected? This defaults = to the original backup to client (a CIFS mount on the Director machine). = There is no directory by this name on the client. If I specify =E2=80=9C/=E2=80=9C as a the restore to, it restores to the = original source and works fine. -Chris- --Apple-Mail=_602AF7C7-84A0-444E-98A2-362F6B580AE9 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dutf-8"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=3D""><div = dir=3D"auto" style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = line-break: after-white-space;" class=3D"">How would I specify a restore = job in Baculum to restore a file to a specific folder on my director = machine disk?
