But I actually want to restore the archives not individual files. Can I
do that with amrecover?

I found that I can do something like this though:

amrestore -p diskdir/slot30/00002.machine._.3  | \
        ssh machine "cat - >~/restore/machine._.2.tar"

I just wonder if it's the right way to do it[tm].

Thanks for your help.
