This is far from a simple request and would require fundamental changes to 
gbak.  Gbak is a logical dump of database contents that when restored creates a 
new database.  What would a restore of a partial backup create?  A partial 
database?  An overwritten old database?

What benefit would this feature bring?

Ann
