Which platform is this, and what version/level of the client are you running?

I am not aware of any problems like this per se. When you started the restore,
did the TCSUSB directory exist in the root of E:? If so, did any other files or
directories exist there, too? Is there a file called "Premium Builder Summary"
in E:\TCSUSB?

Subject: Restore using command line

I was in the process of restoring a directory using the command. The
process looked at all the files then
started to restore directory structure and I received the following error:

Restored directory E:\TCSUSB\PositivePay\
ANS4093E Unable to build directory branch; A file exists with the same name
 as a
 directory.
Failing path was: 'E:\TCSUSB\Premium Builder Summary'.

Total number of objects restored:         0
Total number of bytes transferred:        0
Total failures:                           0
Elapsed processing time:            2:12:33

command was:
dsmc>restore -subdir=yes -replace=no -la {filespacename}\TCSUSB\* E:\TCSUSB

Did the restore fail because of spaces in the directory name? If so, is
this fixed in Version 3???
Thanks,
