I am still back on Novell 4.11 (yes, unsupported, we are trying to remedy
that), and a user has a directory
name with spaces in it.  How do I restore files within that directory.

His directory is:
        data:home\username\my directory with spaces\filetorestore.xls

And he needs this point in time (of course).

How do I put in spaces?  I tried "%20" and enclosing the directory with
single quotes,
and double quotes, nothing seems to work.

        My current owrkaround is doing a re-directed restore of the entire
directory to
another directory name (without spaces) as a point in time, like:

restore -pitdate=05/05/2003 -pittime=23:59:59 "data:home/userID/dir*"
"data:home/userID/newdirectory"

then go copy the file out of the restored directory.

Any other suggestions?
