I think you can amrestore files into the staging disk area, and them
afmflush them; you just need to be careful about directory names.
(I haven't tried this, so I'm probably leaving something out)
That is to say:
cd /my/staging/disk
mkdir fred
cd fred
amrestore /dev/mytape
Then make a directory of the appropriate date and move the
files there:
mkdir ../20011015
mv host.dir1.20011015.0 ../20011015/host.dir1.0
mv host.dir2.20011015.0 ../20011015/host.dir2.0
...
and finally do an amflush...
