It appears you can do this at the filespace level too, and save all the indidual file stanzas. You'll just be chopping it up into day-thick slices. Start with the earliest dat of interest... mkdir /path/to/restore/datepattern dsmc restore /path/to/dir \ /path/to/restore/datepattern \ -pitdate=blah -pittime=foo \ -subdir=yes And then: for each date (earliest interest ... now) { mkdir /path/to/restore/datepattern dsmc restore /path/to/dir \ /path/to/restore/datepattern \ -fromdate=datepattern -todate=datepattern \ -subdir=yes } Make sure you've got one restore tick in between each of your incrementals, and you should be good to go. - Allen S.
