SYMPTOMS

When the directory is selected to be restored, all files are restored. When a single file is selected from a group of files that were in an earlier case selected, but not restored, the file is not restored. When a single file is selected from a group of files that were selected and restored, it is restored.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5.
