Thanks Marcin, it seems obvious now you've explained it. I'll put a client
on my local machine and restore to that.

Many thanks

Hello Chris,<br>
<br>
Yes, the restore directory refers to the directory on the selected<br>
Bacula Client (Restore to client field).<br>
<br>
To be able to restore on the Director host, Bacula Client needs to be<br>
installed on this Director host and this Client needs to be selected<br>
in the restore wizard (Restore to client)<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Marcin Haba<br>
