Hello

I can successful restore a file from a backup, but not a folder.
When I in the catalog shell select a file to restore, that goes well. But when I select a folder, it doesn't restore. The target folder I choose just stays empty. But it seems that the restore "does something" , because on the PBS side, I can see the "reader" job succeed.

How can I restore a whole folder with the catalog shell?

Thank you
 
Hi,

You are correct. There seem to be a few issues with the catalog shell, which I have been meaning to get to. Thanks for pointing this one out. I've created a bug report [1]. For now, you can restore an entrire folder from the shell with:
find dirname/** --select
This will recursively copy everything in the directory

Okay, great. Thanks.
I was also able to restore a folder by mounting the archive via FUSE.
