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. > dsmc restore -inactive "/users32/oradata/FTKP/control1/*" > -pitdate=10/13/2005 -f > dsmc restore -inactive "/users32/oradata/FTKP/control2/*" > -pitdate=10/13/2005 -f > dsmc restore -inactive "/users32/oradata/FTKP/control3/*" > -pitdate=10/13/2005 -f > dsmc restore -inactive "/users32/oradata/FTKP/control4/*" > -pitdate=10/13/2005 -f 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.

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