RESTORE: Directory Path
I am trying to restore an entire backup to a new location...
ORIGINAL path:
c:\userfiles\our_research\a bunch of subdirectories...etc...
INTENDED NEW LOCATION:
f:\a bunch of subdirectories...
PROBLEM: whenever I select the our_research folder it still restores to the following path:
f:\userfiles\our_research\a bunch of subdirectories...
how can I change this?
thanks...

Hmm OK I just tested this as I do now have access to a BE server and I see the same as you i.e
1) With Preserve Tree checked - the redirect restore recreates the parent folders all the way to the root of the original volume.
2) Without Preserve Tree checked - it just restores to flat files.
As such I don't think we can currently do exactly what you have aksed for which is restore the treee from the point of selection without the parent folders.
You might like to submit this as an Idea (via the Ideas section in the bar at the top of this forum) as then other customers can vote to give us an idea of demand.
