After doing some more testing, I think I've gotten a handle on how
 'bprestore' is working.  It appears that the '-e' requirement with TIR 
 restores was added with the 3.4 release.  

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to give one the capability of 
 using bprestore to restore a specific filesystem (or directory) as it
 existed at a given date specified by the '-e' option, but it is now 
 limited to a single filesystem?  Such as I can't perform a TIR restore
 using bprestore of all filesystems in a single command.  For each 
 filesystem I have to first identify the last TIR backup and then specify 
 that date with the '-e' option.  This seems fairly cumbersome compared to 
 v3.2 which used the most recent backups by default.  

 I would think that the '-e' option should optional, such that it used
 the most recent backup by default (the same as a Normal Backup restore).
 Additionally to give one the capability to restore a specific filesystem 
 Veritas could add a 'do not cross mount points' option, such that you 
 could prevent the restore from spanning filesystems.

 Feel free to jump in if I'm still mistaken about the bprestore functionality
 or there's a simpler way to perform full TIR restores in a DR situation.
 
 Thanks,
 
 John
