If you are "restoring" 21GB, that sounds like entire DLEs/filesystems.
amrecover is used more for selected files or directory trees.

Perhaps your greatest speedup could come from using amrestore to extract
the raw archive from tape, transfering that to the client as a single
file, then using tar/restore (with gunzip as needed) to expand the entire
archive locally.


Disk space is a limiting factor in doing that. I'd need 42Gb of storage and only have 36GB available.
