Is the tape drive on the same machine that you want to restore to?
Assuming it is not:
1. Mount the tape on the Amanda server.
2. Log in to the client (where you want to restore the files to).
3. cd to the top of where you want to do the restore.
4. Reach over to the server with rsh/ssh and run amrestore, piping
the image back to the client and into the appropriate restore
program. For instance, if you use GNU tar:
rsh -n SERVER /path/to/amrestore -p /dev/whatever CLIENT /opt \
| gtar xbf 2 - file file file file ...
Change "/dev/whatever" to the tape device name on the server.
SERVER is the host name of the server (with the tape drive). CLIENT
is the name of the client machine (the image you want to restore).
