Point-in-time restore requires not only the V3 client, but the V3 server as
well.

A comment & question:

Eric, my understanding is that a true "point in time restore" requires
more than just installing the V3 client.
The V3 client has the capability, but you must essentially TURN OFF
VERSIONING in your management classes to ensure that it works.

Otherwise, the backup versions necessary to do the point-in-time restore
may not exist!

Am I wrong about this?  Anybody tried it on V3?

        If you install the version 3 client you should be able to do a
point-in-time restore.

                We spend most of our time here just trying to keep this
monster, ADSM,
                running and protecting it's self. But what if someone
was crazy enough to
                want to restore a user's directory. What if they'd done
a bunch of changes
                and builds to some source code in a directory. What if
they realize nothing
                is working and they'd really like to restore this
directory back to the way
                it was when they woke up two weeks ago. Now our trusty
ADSM has been doing
                it's incrementals nightly. Can I get that directory back
to that point in
                time without restoring every individual file manually?
