If you do not have a filesystem with the same name you will have to
specify that as well in curly braces, and the destination to write to,
ala:

  dsmc restore -fromn=node2 {/var}spool/mail/a1234567 /tmp

which will restore the file to the tmp directory.  Use a QUERY BACKUP
{/var}* to see what the correct filenames are.  I do not recall,
offhand, whether the filename part needs a leading /.
