VMS Help RECOVER, Parameter  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 filespec[,...]

    Specifies the file to be recovered. Wildcard characters (* and %)
    are allowed in the directory specification, file name, file type,
    and version number fields. If you specify more than one file,
    separate the file specifications with commas.

    For recovery using after-image journaling, use the backup copy
    of the data file as the file specification. For recovery using
    before-image journaling, use the original data file as the file
    specification.

    The file specification cannot include a node name, since the
    RECOVER/RMS_FILE command is not valid for network access.
