Restore directories with space like this:
"data:home\username\my directory with spaces\filetorestore.xls"
In other words enclose the ENTIRE path in quotes.
I do this a lot.

I am still back on Novell 4.11 (yes, unsupported, we are trying to
remedy
that), and a user has a directory
name with spaces in it. How do I restore files within that directory.
His directory is:
data:home\username\my directory with spaces\filetorestore.xls
And he needs this point in time (of course).
How do I put in spaces? I tried "%20" and enclosing the directory
with
single quotes,
and double quotes, nothing seems to work.
My current owrkaround is doing a re-directed restore of the
entire
directory to
another directory name (without spaces) as a point in time, like:
restore -pitdate=05/05/2003 -pittime=23:59:59 "data:home/userID/dir*"
"data:home/userID/newdirectory"
then go copy the file out of the restored directory.
Any other suggestions?
