    You create a text file that we call a 'rename-file' that contains the source and destination folder, then add the filename to bprestore command with -R option.

    See example in this TN: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO43687 

    On UNIX and Linux systems: For example, the following entry renames /usr/fred to /usr/fred2:

    change /usr/fred to /usr/fred2

    So, if you create text file in /tmp called rename, and add the following in the file:

    change /home/dir1 to /home/tmp

    your command will look like this: 

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprestore -L /tmp/restore.log -R /tmp/rename /home/dir1
