I'm trying to restore the contents of

AMANDA: FILE 20060601 orinoco.deanst.rroom.net
//tlswindev1.deanst.rroom.net/e$ lev 0 comp .gz program
/usr/bin/smbclient

However I don't know how to get this off the tape into a usable format.
It was generated from the DLE

orinoco.deanst.rroom.net        //tlswindev1.deanst.rroom.net/e$
comp-root-tar-win

And from amanda.conf

define dumptype comp-root-tar-win {
    root-tar
    comment "Root partitions with compression"
    compress client fast
    index
    #exclude list "/var/lib/amanda/exclusions.txt"
}

I need to restore it to the amanda server as I'm still trying to
reinstall 'tlswindev1' after its only disk (yes, I know, when its
replaced I'll be insisting on RAID) died last night, and I can't afford
the network traffic (the dump to tape should be about 30GB).

Any suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks, John
