FLR restore create 0 byte files
I have recently been testing Veeam Backup and Restore 5.0.2.230 (64-bit).
After backup of my FreeBSD 8.2 mail server and try to restore individual mail files (Maildir), from the backup with the multi-OS file level recovery, the files are 0 byte. Other files are OK.
What could cause this behavior and how should I debug this issue for a support case to Veeam?
Best regards
Henrik Larsson

Re: FLR restore create 0 byte files
The reason for this issue was that maildir files has a colon in its name. Windows don't support colon, so the restore didn't work even though the status from Veeam was success.
The only way to restore the files, was using the FTP method, where you could download the files using a different name than the original file name.
I have asked Veeam support to find a solution, so that the restore status won't be success when the file couldn't be restored due to a file name that isn't supported in Windows. We will have to see if this is implemented in future versions.
