Recently I attempted to restore a directory and all it's

The log indicated that zero files were restored.
If I attempt to restore a single file, the files gets
restored and the log tells me one file was restored.
I am able to restore to a tar file then restore the files
in a directory, so I know the files are in the archive.
It doesn't matter what host I try to restore, I can only
restore one file into an existing directory. I use both
rsyncd and rsync methods and neither one can restore
multiple files.
I search via google and can find nothing that clues me
into where to look.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Sorry not to think of this earlier but it is important to
understand. If your definition of a share is just "/", the
root file system then you will have no backups of files and
folders in shares that are on a separate partition such as
/home if it is a mountpoint. It will backkup the folder name
that defines the mount but will not descend. You have to
define /home as a separate share to backup. This is done to
avoid the case where the same network share is mounted on
multiple machines or in multiple user directories thus
creating unnecessary churn backing up the same directory
multiple times.
