No, directories get bound to the management class with the longest retention, not the shortest. I can't quite figure how a file in a directory wouldn't expire before the directory it was in expired. The directory would have been backed up when the file was touched last so I would think that directory would go no sooner than the file went. If you move a directory to a new class, don't they get rebound? Maybe not. I'm counting on Andy jumping in here when he has a chance and straightening us all out...

GUI behavior is by design. You need to add command in your dsm.opt DIRMC longretentionmgmtclass If you don't have this command directories get bind to management class that has shortest retention time (or something like this); I always need to look at manual when I need to understand this command. If you go in gui, click on directory, than click on info button, it will show you to which mgmt class that directory is bound. If you know your path you can use command line to restore required file.

Now, to do your restore, you could use dsmc query backup -filesonly to show your files backed up and use it in dsmc restore.
