Jerry:
Right. I assumed no change in the original media folder but it would be too easy to restore from a backup with media and lose all that subfolder organization. In future I will not include media in a backup file.

I had assumed that so long as the path to my media directory was not changed, regardless of whether or not the media directory had to be restored from one of my non-RM backups, that the media links in my RM database would be OK.
Since you have all your media in a single folder anyway, a restore will not destroy any subfolder structure. But a restore will likely place the media files in a different "single folder" than where they were before the restore. Whether you start out with multiple media subfolders or with only a single media folder, after a restore the media files will be correctly linked to the new location for the media files.

OK, Thanks Jerry
That is what I thought, but I have never tested an RM and PC/Media directory restore. I assume you would direct the media directory restore to the media directory path established by the RM restore. This makes me feel more comfortable in case I ever have to.
Appreciate the feed back.
