Try it with quotes. Something like this should work.

tob -restore '/where/the/file/is/*'

It's best to use the quotes even when restoring single files in
case a certain character in the file name gets expanded.
For instance just a couple of days ago I tried to restore some older
files. glib-1.2.6.tar.gz was fine but nothing happened when trying to
restore gtk+-1.2.6.tar.gz. The plus (+) was the problem.
