Hi Ron,
        From your response, it seem to me that when LATEST parm is specified, I
might get more than all active files?  I not sure whether is this causes
my last restore to failed because those files that already deleted also
restore back and caused my Netware volume full?   If this is true, may I
know is there any para only restore to the last backup image of my
system?  TIA

Regards
