This command is usually used in conjuction with the restore path (See Subsection ) option. Suppose you set the restore path to d:/tmp. If you now restore a single directory (e.g. c:/bin/mwc) from the archive (You will need interactive mode for this feature), and you don't create subdirectories, you can restore the files in this directory in d:/tmp. Within the directory d:/tmp no new directories will be created.
If needed the directory d:/tmp will be created.
