Potential differences:
bareos instead of bacula
my version is 5 (bacula 7 is current; I'm not certain if it has usable Win
client though - didn't check lately).
If I were to speculate I would say that what you see may come from "too
much work" done on client side, like packing whole directories ("folders"
as I should have used MS windows language), and sending the whole thing to
backup server, but I most likely will be wrong about that as: the stuff
that walks you trough directory tree comes from database, which is filled
I bet by director (receiving infor. from fd), no matter that files are
being sent by fd to sd. Anyway, I would try to remove compression wherever
it is configured and see if that makes any difference.
But you probably need bareos _expert_, not just bacula _user_ to find the
solution.
Incidentally, what happens if you request to restore all ("add all" will
be the only command you need, then say "done").
Good luck!
