If he used dsmc to run the restore, is there a chance that all he got was
directories? I've done that in the past with poorly typed dsmc commands,
albeit under Unix, not Windows.

Hussein - My first thought would be to do 'dsmc q backup -ina
<FileName>'
for at least one of the problem filenames and see what's in
the
server for files: there may be older versions that are valid. This is
to
say that the most recent backup was performed when the system was
trashy.
Before restoring, I would run some good disk-checking tools to assure
that
the disk is a viable container for the data you seek to restore. And,
as
always, make sure that the system is up to date on patches which keep
malicious intruders out of the system...who might cause such damage.
