Same way you would if you weren't missing them. You put in the disk 
with the file, restore sez "this ain't disk number <dweeb> do you 
know what you're doing", you say "yes, of course I know what I'm 
doing", and restore puts the file back.

Btw, restore's gonna only put it back in the same directory you backed
it out of. If it's the two-files-on-the-backup-disk (3.3 and later)
type of disks, you can type out the CONTROL file to check the names...
if it's the BACKUPID.@@@-type-of-backup (2.0-3.21) type of disks, 
type file you want, there's a header with the \path\filename.ext in
there....
