Even when I supported Windows networks (not for a few years now), I have never restored anything other than lost or corrupted data files for users who have been running computers otherwise working normally. So I haven't looked into the sort of issues you're meeting. Having said that I've seen any number of people talking about the problems they've had trying to do what is effectively a 'bare metal' restore, and I've concluded that with BackupPC as distributed it's impossible. After all it isn't really possible with Linux either, you need to put a working system on the client before you can even fetch an archive from the BackupPC server... There are probably many threads both on this list and elsewhere which talk about the Windows/NTFS issues, here is the first one I found: https://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/backuppc-users/thread/4b12edc7.7090...@gmail.com/ There's quite a lot of food for thought in that one thread, but I'm sure that it would be useful to search for more.
The restored application is running. So maybe my issue isn't a issue.
