The amanda on our system use 'gnutar' utility.
The 'amdump' works. But, it doesn't save the absolute path.
For example, when I ran 'amrestore  -p /dev/nst0 cat02 | tar tvf -', I  saw
the following:
    -rw-rw-r-- root/bin       2368 1998-08-13 11:50:32 ./f52_tub.im8
    -rw-rw-r-- root/bin      12944 1998-08-13 11:50:33 ./f52_tus.im8 
   -rw-rw-r-- root/bin       2720 1998-08-13 11:50:34 ./f53_tub.im8
       ...

I want to see the absolute path like
/usr/openwin/share/images/fish/f52_tub.im8 because this
makes restore easier.

The following is a entry in the file 'disklist':
   cat02  /usr/openwin/share/images/fish root-tar

Thanks advanced!
