Richard,

I would say NO, because a restore process do not compare the existing files
on the client and their version (unlike backup). When you restore, you can
only say "latest, active, point-in-time...".

I cannot tell you more, based on the short info we got in the Oxford
seminar! Maybe Tivoli will add comment...

Yours,
