Question Single file restore from NIM backup

Hi,

I've recently implemented a NIM backup procedure for 2 virtual AIX5.3 environments running on a JS22 blade server. The images transfer to an old p620 box connected to some old SSA storage, each server backs up a mksysb and a savevg image. Now seeing as this method should be replacing our backups to LTO tapes I'm wondering if I still have the same functionality with these NIM backups, namely can I restore a single file or directory from the backed up images without restoring the entire image first?
