Problem restoring selected folders from WHS 2011 backup. RRS feed

    I am attempting to restore a "Documents" folder from a backup of a Vista system.  I am just restoring the folder to a target directory on a W 8.1 machine.  The first attempt seemed to exclude the subdirectories, so I deleted the target and started over.  Now after I specify the source directory from the backup and the target folder on the W8.1 machine, the backup wizard instantly says "The items are successfully restored", even though nothing has in fact been restored.

    How do I reset this process so I can restore the folder contained within the backup?

    PS.  I've tried restarting both the target and WHS 2011 machines, but this issue survives the restart.

    Not sure if it's a W8 issue but try restoring them to a location on your Server to see if that works. If so, yoh can then copy them to your client.

    I also would like to suggest to try a different location. At least a different folder where you are going to restore.
