Melinda,

The ADSM fab-four (backup, archive, restore, and retrieve) function against
filespaces.  You have to backup each filespace separately (yes, even
an incremental backup is actually sub-divided into incremental backups
against each filespace) and therefore restore each filespace separately.

In other words, each of these commands:

      RESTORE /* -SUBDIR=YES
      SELECTIVE /* -SUBDIR=YES
      ARCHIVE /* -SUBDIR=YES (yes, this option now works!!!!)
      RETRIEVE /* -SUBDIR=YES

Are only going to work against the ROOT '/' filespace.

You are going to have to explicitly code each filespace for the restore:

      RESTORE /* -SUBDIR=YES
      RESTORE /usr -SUBDIR=YES
      RESTORE /home -SUBDIR=YES
      RESTORE /var -SUBDIR=YES    ...etc.
