Greetings-

I recall last time I needed to restore A FILE from a XFS backup, MANY MORE files/dirs got restored than expected. This time the same thing is happening.

Screen dump of what I did:

=====================
:/mnt/ext_backup/cirlnx01/20090510$ sudo xfsrestore -J -E -f /mnt/ext_backup/cirlnx01/20090510/data -s shares/data -i -v verbose /srv

xfsrestore: restoring non-directory files
=====================

I am seeing the ENTIRE "data" backup restored, not just the one file I specified to add.

Why is this? What am I doing incorrectly?

Sincerely,
