Richard,

Would that be a "dsmc q backup ..." or "dsmc q archive ..."??  Just want to
be sure.  Thanks

Hi, Joni -

Good to see the quotes around the filespec: that should do it, to restore
the data back to its original location.
Before doing most restores, I habitually put the same source filespec into
a 'dsmc query backup ...', which will in a simple way give me a preview
of what will be restored.  Allow time for the client and server to
interact to expand the wildcards relative to the filespace inventory.
