I've just finished setting up amanda here, and am making sure I know how to
do full-volume restores with amrestore before "disaster" strikes and I
_NEED_ to know.  That said, I'm running into a problem:  I have a level 0
dump of a filesystem from one server, and am trying to restore it to a
different server (same model and drive config/partitions as the original)  I
am using amanda 2.4.4 with gnutar (and a SDLT160, if that matters) on
Solaris8.  When I run:

# rsh -n dcsunbackup.ncb.com /usr/local/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/rmt/0cn
dclawson.ncb.com '\^/sybase\$' | tar t

from the client, all of the files returned are listed under numerical
directories, for example:

07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/ctdrvlib.loc
07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/ctlib.loc
07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/dblib.loc
07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/defncopy.loc
07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/isql.loc
07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/libdna.loc
07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libinsck.loc
07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libsdna.loc
07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libsri.loc
07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libtli.loc

The disklist entry for this filesystem is as follows:
dclawson.ncb.com        /sybase         user-tar

And the dumptype is straight from the amanda defaults:
define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
    priority low
}

define dumptype user-tar {
    root-tar
    comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
    priority medium
}

The exclude file is currently empty.  So, where are all these directories
coming from, and more importantly, how can I make them go away?

Thanks for your help,
Jon Sippel
