amrecover only write to disk the files you asked for extraction.
amrecover extract in the current directory when we executed amrecover
(not on /tmp/Amanda), you can use the lcd command to change the cwd.
Can you post the complete output of the amrecover session and the
complete amrecover.*.debug file.

Is this simply a case of not realizing that 'amrestore' is generally used
for complete dle restoration while 'amrecover' is used for individual

I am beginning to question my sanity here <G>. I am using the amrecover
interface to recover it but it seems that it will first extract the entire
tar'd up dle to /tmp/Amanda before extracting the small folder that I
requested. Am I wrong about that?
If this is the case (and it seems to be what I have experienced) then my
problem is that the entire tar'd up dle will not fit on the partition which
contains /tmp/Amanda/. So to get at this particular folder for this restore
I need to change that default to another drive which does have enough free
space.
To further clarify, I am running Debian and using the packages in the debian
archive for Amanda. I am using vtapes also.
Thanks for the help,
Gordon
