The DSS manual say that when you specify a directory, it does not dump the 
files under that directory. That's very different from the behavior of, e.g., 
tar.

I haven't tested it myself, but what I would hope is that it works like
unix utilities, where the file you specify could actually be a directory.

It is pretty common when using tar etc. to set the working directory,
and specify e.g. "." (a dot) to select the current directory, or specify
a subdirectory name.

You can then restore to a different location by setting a different
working directory before the restore, i.e. all names are relative to the
working directory.
