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.

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.
