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.
