Thanks for the help.
I am familiar with the Amrestore command.
But the problem I am facing is that the Amanda server which also holds other applications crushed. So I have to restore data from another server - I have Solaris 9 and and or Solaris 10 servers that I can connect to the tape drive...
I also saved the configuration files of the amanda server.

Is there a way to directly connect to the tape drive and use unix commands to restore data from it?
Or any other suggestions...

Many thanks,
gil

http://www.amanda.org/docs/restore.html
man amrestore

This is very well explained in multiple (obvious) places.
