When you do a restore of an SG from the GUI, you get the screen where
you can select whether to mount, commit, etc, after the restore, as well
as a box to specify "temporary location for log and patch files"
=20
as you might know, there's a file placed in this directory when you do
the "full" restore that must exist in order to be able to apply an
incremental at a later time.
then when you do the incremental later, you have to spec the same dir as
you specified for the full.
=20
So, looking at the man page, for bprestore, and the "commands for unix"
manual, I can't find an option to specify this target temp directory on
the command line.
=20
I can do a full restore from the command line (without a mount and
commit) but if I later want to apply an incremental on top of that full
(from the GUI) I don't know where to point the restore WRT this temp
dir.

If you're wondering why i need to do this......
After the FULL backups finish on the weekend, I do a full restore of the
exchange backup to a second server (from command line, fired off by a
cron job).....with NO mount or commit.....this restore is then staged
and if a restore is needed at a later date, the exchange admins can
force a mount/commit of this full, OR I can apply an incremental on top
of the full, and mount and commit that.
=20
problem is, without knowing/specifying where the CLI restore put the
temp log/patch files, I can't apply the incremental.
