This question probably has an obvious answer, but here goes:
We are trying to restore a particular sub-directory from a single tape backup. Since I have never done this, I ran the command "restore tf nrst0a fran" to make sure that the syntax was right. This listed all of the files in the target directory (/user/fran). But when I went to do the actual restore ("restore rvf nrst0a fran"), I started getting messages like "Warning: cannot create directory /user/miller/blah/blah/blah: file exists", which they do.
In fact /user/fran does not currently exist on the filer (thus the restore), and /user/miller does. My question is: why is the restore touching anything but /user/fran in the first place? Any info on the proper syntax would be greatly appreciated.
