newbie question - Selective Restore note working?!?
« on: October 15, 2004, 05:01:45 PM »
Hello, all:

What am I missing?  I've inherited maintenance of a Mitel Networks SME Server 5.6, and it's my first time trying to fulfill a request to selectively restore a file that was accidentally deleted. I can't seem to get it to work.

I've tried a test on a known file - I renamed a file that I could afford to lose, and then tried a selective restore of the file.  Every time, "Restore request initiated successfully, The following entries will be restored shortly: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/our-drive/Amado/signature.bmp"  But the old signature.bmp file never re-appears in my /Amado/ directory.

I tried on a bogus filename, and got the same thing - "Restore request initiated successfully, The following entries will be restored shortly: /home/e-smith/files/ibays/our-drive/Amado/heliotrope.doc" Even though heliotrope.doc never existed.

I strongly feel I'm missing something. Any help?

Thanks very much,
Amado Ohland
