Summary
When trying to restore from a file level backup of a compressed source file system there are failures with all files.
Symptoms
During the restore immediately when the first files are attempted the errors below are reported in the job log:

The backup source was a Windows compressed volume or directory.
Resolution
Ensure that the destination volume can support compression. Windows volumes with a cluster size larger than 4K will not support compression and the restore data needs to be written in a compressed state. To determine cluster size on the volume use diskpart and reference the article below for default cluster sizes depending on volume size.
Default cluster size for NTFS, FAT, and exFAT: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/140365/default-cluster-size-for-ntfs-fat-and-exfat
The restore needs to be redirected to a volume that supports compression.
