Why won't Impression restore a file/folder from an older .pax archive with a bracket in its name?
Due to the pattern-matching system in pax's restore engine, file name symbols that match regex commands cause errors when trying to individually restore them. Rest assured, your files are intact and present in the archive. As a workaround, the files can be restored from the command line by restoring the entire disc without specifying the individual files for restoration (i.e. - hfspax -r -f /path/to/archive.pax).
Impression's newer 'imps' archiving format doesn't suffer from this limitation, even though it is in fact based on the pax engine.
