After the struggle to burn my tape-split backups onto DVD, I find myself 
wondering just how useful they are.  The current set of backups are still on 
hard drive, but what if I want to find an earlier copy of a file which has 
since been burned onto DVD?

It seems to me that once vtapes are free for overwriting the corresponding 
index will be lost too.  Can either amrestore or amrecover actually access 
these files?
