Use the command line interface: specify SYSTEM STATE as the file space
name in the restore file spec, and also specify a different restore
destination. From dsmc's prompt, enter a command like the one shown below:
tsm> restore "{SYSTEM
STATE}\windows\sysvol\eu.rabonet.com\scripts\euams\eu_ams_users.xls"
c:\restoretarget\
(The above command will probably wrap to multiple lines, but it is a
single, long command.)
CAVEATS: (a) This technique should work for restoring specific files, but
it is not a method for other, more "grandiose" restore methods; for
example, it is not a method for restoring SYSVOL to an alternate location.
(b) There is no guarantee that future versions will continue to work this
way. (c) This technique is not available through the GUI.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
