If the images are 'dump' images, you can use 'restore' in interactive mode
to extract specific files. If the images are tar images, you can use 'tar
x filename' on the tape image to get the specific file (or tar t to get
the file-list). In either case, don't forget to dd past the first 32K
block of the image, which is the amanda header.
