Having just submitted a fix :-) I now don't feel so bad about looking for something bigger. It seems that the only way to recover files from a tape is either to use amrecover, which presents an FTP like interface to the database of backed up files, or amrestore, which extracts an entire backup image from a tape which you can of course pipe through whatever other program you like.
Many commercial backup programs have the ability to browse the database for files matching some wildcard spec. and offer a list of files matching the spec. and then allow you to pick one or more of these files to be restored. Has anyone hacked together something like that for amanda ? Even being able to get a list of matching files would be useful to enable you to look in the right place with amrecover.
