I have tried the information on this page to try and accomplish this task:

Restoring A Single File From mksysb

Specifically the article talks about restoring just 1 file. I want to restore an entire directory.

I tried this

Code:
restore -xqd -s4 -f /dev/rmt0.1 ./home/herot

It seemed to work (after a looooong time) but the files aren't there... any ideas?
