If your intent is to restore the lp subdirectory and all of its files, then
"restore /etc/lp/* -subdir=yes" is the correct syntax.
"restore /etc/lp -subdir=yes" tells ADSM to restore all objects called 'lp' in
/etc and any of its subdirectories. Incidentally, the '-subdir=yes' also causes
*all* directory entries under /etc to be restored, as well. This latter
behavior has been modified in the V3 client so that your command would cause
only objects (files and directories) called 'lp' within the /etc directory
structure to be restored. However, if your intent is to restore the '/etc/lp'
directory only, then you still need to explicitly say "restore /etc/lp/*
-subdir=yes".

Subject: dsmc restore /etc/lp does bad things
Hi,
Can anyone explain why this command misbehaves:
# dsmc restore /etc/lp -subdir=yes -todate=01/20/1998 -latest
It starts restoring other stuff in /etc (other than lp, that is).
The things that trigger it are (all must be true):
1. the /etc/lp directory is completely gone
2. Another file called 'lp' appears somewhere under /etc
(in this case /etc/init.d/lp)
3. I specify '/etc/lp' rather than '/etc/lp/*'
I'm using the solaris(2.5.1) client (2.1.0.7), but I can reproduce the
problem on AIX by creating the directories mentioned above.
I can work around this by specifying '/etc/lp/*', but it seems an
overly harsh punishment for it to restore everything under /etc.
Example:
[root@rachel] /etc # df -k /
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 31239 14098 14021 51% /
[root@rachel] /etc # ls -ld /etc/lp
drwxrwxr-x 9 lp lp 512 Jan 26 21:34 /etc/lp
[root@rachel] /etc # ls -l /etc/lp
