This is how the V2 client works. Using the V2 client GUI,
selecting from the tree causes only files to be restored (the
directories are not restored, but recreated on the fly,
inheriting the permissions of their parent). To restore
directories with the GUI you need to perform a "restore
subdirectory branch" operation rather than selecting from
the tree. "Restore subdirectory branch" is the equivalent
of using the command line interface "Restore" command with
the "-subdir=yes" option.

The V3 client behavior has been changed such that both files
and directories are restored, even when selecting from the
tree view.

ADSM server 2.1.0.6 on AIX; Win NT 4.0 server client
When we restored an entire drive and the files had the correct permissions
associated with them but the directories and sub-directories did not. The
restore request was issued from the client using the gui interface by
highlighting the drive and using the file specification option with the
argument *.* and subdirectories clicked on.
Did we do something wrong, or is this a known problem?
