This is called True Image Recovery. If you have this option
turned on then it should do what you want.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Question on restore options.
Is it
possible to restore a directory such that if files exist they are overwritten,
but if a file doesn't exist on the restore it is removed?
i.e.
System
A
System B
--------------
----------------
Directory
X
Directory X
File a b c
d File
a d
So in this
scenario you restore from System B to System A and since the files
"a" and "d" exist, they are overwritten, but files
"b", and "c" are deleted.
I know the
easy way (in theory) would be to delete the directory X on system A and then do
the restore from backup of system B, but we are cloning data from a production
system to a test system and there are thousands of directories with thousands
of sub-directories so doing a RM will take several hours to complete. And
the developers want to make sure that there isn't test or development data left
behind after the restore from the production server.
Thanks
Dan
