Title: Restoring Windows directories with the same name fails
Date: May-07
NV Version: ALL
OS Version: Linux/Windows
Application version: n/a
Plugin version: n/a
Description:
Explanation as to why restoring folders with the same name fails.
Symptoms:
Windows is not case sensitive and therefore you can only create one directory of the same name.
A Unix Services Application allows you to create directories on a Windows machines from a Unix/Linux box.
Linux being case sensitive, this application allows you to create directories of the same name but using lower and upper case - for instance 'Bakbone' & 'BAKBONE'.
Backup of these 2 directories will be successful, but the restore will fail with the following error message:
Error 2007/05/15 15:12:53 67 Data Plugin bakbone Fatal error while processing item : 'Error reading from media'
This happens because NetVault gets confused about the directories with the same name existing on the Windows machine.
