Richard:  Thanks.  I took a look and I'm still confused at how I can
restore multiple mount points on a single restore.  I see the wildcards
but if I wanted only a select group I don't see how I can list the mount
points on the restore line.
*TSM 5.2.2 on AIX 5.2(server) and the clients are UNIX running 5.2.2

(Each one below is a separate mount point on the filesystem.

I'd like to do a single restore so it retrieved all the files.
Currently the UNIX folks are issuing 22 restores and it happens that all
the data is on a single tape which means it has to be loaded 22 times
and unloaded 22 times.

Thanks for all the help,
Eric

Eric - See IBM Technote 1142185, particularly the "?*" wildcard spec
near
        the bottom.  Restoral performance and invocation choices are not
always obvious in the product.
