You restore or recover to either the original directory (the one
at the top of the backup tree for that DLE) or into an empty
directory (my preference) and after recovery to that location,
move the desired files to their final destination.
amrecover is an interactive command. read the man page to
determine how to tell it the system (host) to recover, the
DLE, and the date. It will then check its logs and tell
you (with an "ls/cd" type interface) what directories and
files are available for that date. Tell amrecover which
you want to recover (mark them) and ask it to recover them
from tape (extract). Amrecover will then tell you what tapes
need to be inserted into the drive and rewound to set it to
the start of the tape.
