try: load dsmc restore -pitdate=mm/dd/yyyy -subdir=y server/data:home/directory/*
notice I added '/*' to your command. I'm assuming you wanted the entire directory tree under home/directory, not just the directory entry home/directory.

I am trying to use load dsmc restore -pitdate=mm/dd/yyyy -subdir=y server/data:home/directory but am getting a message ANS4035W File "data:/home/directory/" currently unavailable on server. back from the TSM client. Does that mean it is not in my backups? Or is it a permissions problem in the restore? The directory is there. I have also tried it with -ina and using -pick all with the same results. TSM 4.1.3 on Windows as server, restoring to Novell client 4.1.3.0 that did the backups. TIA ... JC
