   Thanks for all the help, but I have a problem to restore the  files.
 When I type:
 root@ # dd if=/dev/rmt/0n ibs=64k | ufsrestore if -

Where did you get 64k from? Why aren't you following the directions you've been pointed at multiple times?

Try this:

mt rewind
mt fsf 1 (this gets you past the amanda tape label)
dd if=/dev/rmt/0n of=restored.image bs=32k skip=1 (this will get you the
                                                   first backup image)

Then run 'file restored.image', which will tell you what type of file that restore image is. Given your dumptype, the image will likely be gzipped. So then you'd have to do:

zcat restored.image > restored.image.unzipped

Obviously, that's assuming your zcat understands gzipped files. You should then be able to run ufsrestore on restored.image.unzipped.
