Great catch Bill!

I updated my sample syntax to use -i and -s mutually exclusive.

Now, since I had to Ctrl-Break the previous xfsrestore, I do not seem to know how to correctly clear out the previous session it is remembering.

How do I correctly invoke the -Q switch of xfsrestore? Various things I have tried xfsrestore does not like the syntax of.

Thanks!
