I've got an odd thing going on with a recovery I'm doing where old files are recovered instead of the current file. The example below talks about the /etc directory which is part of the / saveset of
my RHEL4u3 box. I'm running 7.3 client and server.

In the recover shell I can add the entire /etc/ directory for recovery like so:

   [root@dotbak tmp]# recover -c imap -s dotbak
   recover: Current working directory is /var/tmp/
   recover> relocate /var/tmp
   recover> add -q /etc
   2245 file(s) marked for recovery

Scott, I do not run 7.3, but you have me curious. What happens if you change you recovery process a bit?
What happens if you do the following:

cd /etc
recover -c imap -s dotbak
relocate /var/tmp
add -q .
recover

or if /etc does not exist, how about ...

recover -c imap -s dotbak
cd /etc
relocate /var/tmp
add -q .
recover

I am not suggesting either method will resolve your problem, I am only curious if you get the same results.
