The command line interface does not provide this functionality, but if it
is important to you, I don't see why you couldn't simulate it . Someone
with shell scripting skills could probably come up with a script that
parses the output from the "dsmc query filespace" command, then issues the
individual "dsmc restore <blah>" commands automatically. This will work
best if you collocate by file space; otherwise one restore could end up
contending for the same tape with another restore.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
