display and restore an inactive backup if an active one is not available, and the

Restore a full directory (/home to /temp)
with all subdirectories and write full path

Restore a logical volume image to an
existing mounted file system (/tsm).
Restore a RAW device to an existing

dsmc restore /home/barney
dsmc restore "/home/"
dsmc restore "/home/" -subdir=yes
dsmc restore /home/barney /temp
-preservepath=complete
-subdir=yes
dsmc restore image /tsm
dsmc restore image /dev/testlv
dsmc restore backupset
barney_monthlyBS.1234
dsmc restore backupset /dev/rmt0
