...Ok, Fastback gurus, here's one for you:

...Currently, we're using FB+ ver 2.08, and our systems require that a 
directory be hidden (from prying users, natch). When we perform a backup
of this directory, it finds the dir just fine, and backs it up just like
the program should.

HOWEVER...when doing a restore, it does not set the directory attribute
back to "hidden" when it restores the dir!  While FB+ appears to handle hidden
files with no problem, it appears to be unable to stomach hidden dirs.

...any ideas on why this is so? The manual says nothing concerning the issue.
