Hello Chris,

Yes, the restore directory refers to the directory on the selected
Bacula Client (Restore to client field).

To be able to restore on the Director host, Bacula Client needs to be
installed on this Director host and this Client needs to be selected
in the restore wizard (Restore to client)
