You might be able to speed up the restore by pre-positioning the tape.
Use "amadmin <config> find <host> <disk>" (or amtoc, etc) to find out
what file on the tape has the image. Then after mounting the tape,
do an "mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf <nn>". That should go much faster than what
amrestore has to do (read the first block, skip one file, read a block,
skip a file, etc).

It's normal that amrecover would come back with that prompt when it
was done. And if it had any problems, they would show up just before it.

This looks perfectly normal. First it read and processed the tape,
then it did the image in the holding disk.
