What kind of restore are you working on?
Are you restoring a volume from a primary tape pool, node, or a  (at the
server); or a file (group of files) on a client?

There is a "preview=yes" option for restoring a volume, but I don't see
that for restoring files from the client:

Syntax

            .- --FILE-.
>>-REStore--+---------+--+------------+------------------------->
                         '- --options-'
