Hey there,
I'm in quite a predicament right now. I desperately need PBS to work but for some reason the client is not doing what I expect: When I go to restore a directory, it only creates the parent directory but leaves it empty. The directory in the backup is in fact not empty.

Code:
$ ls /somewhere/nextcloud
ls: cannot access '/somewhere/nextcloud': No such file or directory
...
pxar:/ > select nextcloud
added path: "/nextcloud"
pxar:/ > list-selected
/nextcloud
pxar:/ > restore-selected /somewhere/nextcloud
$ ls /somewhere/nextcloud
$

Simply using the restore command works, but I don't have the time to extract the entire backup

Why does this not work? I'm in a hurry and this is very annoying
