RE: Restoring an IFS backup to an alternate directory

What I find EASIER about the IFS RST is that the new name is in close proximity to the old name. Unlike RSTLIB which requires you to roll down a few screens.

What's so difficult with Name, New object name?
Objects:
Name . . . . . . . . . . . . . > '/frobozz/foo'

Include or omit . . . . . . . *INCLUDE
New object name . . . . . . . > '/bozbar/bar'


RST DEV('/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/myfile.file')
OBJ(('/frobozz/foo' *INCLUDE '/bozbar/bar'))
CRTPRNDIR(*YES)

Honestly, I've always found the IFS SAV and RST commands to be extremely difficult to work with, and the docs and helptext on them to be extremely hard to understand.

So suppose I have a save file containing the entire contents of /frobozz/foo, a rather large subtree. And I want to restore that entire subtree to /bozbar/bar, without disturbing the current contents of /frobozz/foo.

I'm sure there's *somebody* here who is good with SAV and RST in the IFS. Can somebody explain how I would do what I just described?
