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?
