Wouldn't this work?
dsmc restore x:\ -subdir=yes -fromdate=mm/dd/yyyy -fromtime=hh:mm:ss -replace=all
where -fromdate and and -fromtime are the date/time that the image was taken.

Paul,
If you used the flash-copy (hardware) image to do the restore, then did a TSM restore with the "ifnewer" parm, how would that be different than if you used a TSM image?

This might be the answer I was looking for. But I am concerned that we get optimal restore performance. *If* TSM has to position tape, etc, prior to determining whether the file is newer or not, that would cost time. Do you know if this is the case? This is a filesystem with millions of files.
Thanks again.
