Denys,

If I understand you correctly you seem to distinguish between @[log in to unmask]@
and / in the RESTORE command. According to the following excerpt
from HELP RESTORE there is no difference when they are used in the
include portion of the fileset.

MPE and HFS Naming Equivalences

                    When the MPE filename component is a single "@"
                    wildcard, the "@" will be "folded" to include all
                    MPE and HFS named files at that level and below.
                    To specify only MPE-named files, use "?@" instead.

                    MPE wildcards are not expanded in filestoexclude.
                    This means that @[log in to unmask]@[log in to unmask]@.@ is NOT an empty
                    fileset.  It contains all of the HFS named files
                    on the system.

                    A fileset may be entered in any of the following
                    formats and may use wild card characters.
                    Equivalent MPE and HFS formats are grouped
                    together.

... snip

                    @[log in to unmask]@
                    /         All the files and directories (MPE and
                              HFS) in the system.

Take care,
Frank
