Is it possible to restore data to an amanda-client machine but the commands 
will be executed on the amanda-server console?
Thanks.

Amanda is designed to restore data onto the machine running amrecover
or amrestore.  I'm sure there are some tricky ways around it (such as
NFS mounting the client on the server, or using dd/tar/restore
directly to read the tape and pipe it to rsh on the client), but it
wasn't made that way.  You could restore to the Amanda server and
then rsync/scp the data back to the client, but why?  If you are just
trying to avoid physically going to the client, just ssh to it and
run amrecover remotely.
