If you truly have a "SAVSYS" you won't have the folder whether it was a
DLO or an IFS folder. 

If you actually have an Option 21 save follow Vern's advice and do a
DSPTAP.  If you see Data File Labels QDOC or SAVyyyymmdd (probably near
the end of the list) you should be able to restore your folder using the
appropriate RSTDLO or RST command.

How does one go about restoring a folder to the IFS from a SAVSYS?
Somebody in the company wants to retrieve a folder from an old iSeries
machine that the company used to run.  I have a SAVSYS from the old
machine across multiple tapes available to me.  I am trying to restore
just a folder called EDI.  The folder currently does not reside in the
IFS.  I tried the following command

RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP02.DEVD') OBJ(('/EDI'))

After much a great deal of activity and time I get the following
error(s)

File not selected. File label or file name mismatch for file XXXXXXXX.

The XXXXXXXX is the name of the library/object on the tape.  I get this
message for every Data File Label on the tape.  First off is the above
command correct?  If so what Data File Label am I looking for so I know
which tape to put in the drive?
