restore from Legato

Hi Fellas/Ladies

I havent dont any restore unix systemsand recently issue has come up that I need to restore to fridays copy.

I want to restore everything to last fridays for the directory /usr/local/projects.

Anyone done legato restores?
Would it keep acl/permissions, symlinks etc.

Once the restore is done would i be able to just run service project start?

its for a rhel4 update5

Thanks
