Output of restic version

How did you run restic exactly?

restic backup --use-fs-snapshot --no-scan --quiet --iexclude-file restic.exclude -p r1pw.txt --repo rest:http://restuser:restpw8765@ptdbackup.dynns.com:8000/personal/ed/ c:\

What backend/server/service did you use to store the repository?

rest server

Expected behavior

ability to see files via samba

show the files
Actual behavior

folders shown, but no files

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Run restic backup from windows client computer. Mount the repo with restic mount on an ubuntu 22 box, and share it via SAMBA
try to access the files in the backup from the windows computer via the SAMBA share

Note that backed up files show up fine on the ubuntu box when accessed on the linux box restic mountpoint.

Also, files backed up with restic from another ubuntu box show up fine when using restic mount in BOTH the windows box AND when accessing them via a SAMBA share, so it seems to be something with the windows version of restic. Linux version of restic seems to work fine.

Do you have any idea what may have caused this?

Do you have an idea how to solve the issue?

nope

Did restic help you today? Did it make you happy in any way?
