Backup Exec 2010 R2 SP1.

Using BEMCMD returns error 536837664 using SELECTIONx parameter in RESTORE command.

No problem with JOBHISTORYGUID parameter, but we MUST use SELECTIONx parameter

Thank's you. This is a very damage for our applications, because we must use selection option!

I don't understand workaround option 2:

Option 2:

Change the selections in your backup job so instead of selecting the drive letter of the volume containing the data you want to retore, the selection is made of all the top level files and folders in the volume instead. The BEMCMD -o90 command using the SELECTIONx parameter in the resore script  then functions correctly.

I have a SELECTION like this:

SELECTION1=\\CSC01\C:\TMPLTO\test.iso

What's the translation of the workaround?

Let's say you are going to backup E: drive and it has a top level directory of D1, D2 and D3, you cannot use

SELECTION1=\\CSC01\E;

but you must use

SELECTION1=\\CSC01\E:\D1

SELECTION2=\\CSC01\E:\D2

SELECTION3=\\CSC01\E:\D3

If later on, you add in a 4th directory D4, you must add it in manually.  Otherwise, BE will not select it.
