Hi there,

I want to restore a directory from a backup and all its containing subdirectories + all files.
So far I have tried:
Bash:
find Victor\ Bart\ \-\ Retro\ Machines --select
Bash:
restore-selected "/path/to/Victor Bart - Retro Machines"
(path on original host where it was and is supposed to go again)

Bash:
select Victor\ Bart\ \-\ Retro\ Machines
Bash:
restore-selected .

But either nothings happens after a long delay in which the Backup server actually reads chunks or simply the empty parent directory is restored without any contents.

What am I doing wrong?
The directory "Victor Bart - Retro Machines" contains a few directories and these in turn contain files.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John Tanner
 
You can list your selected files and directories with
Code:
list-selected
To select a directory with all subdirectories recursively, add /** to the end of your path. So your command would be:
Code:
find "Victor Bart - Retro Machines/**" --select

I ended up solving this differently but the double asterisk thing is a valuable information, thank you for that
