This was true a long time ago, but no more. Today you can restore from the
holding disk using amrestore, amfetchdump, and amrecover.

At this time I am able to restore from dumps left on holding disk. Just
wondering what advantage/disadvantage, there was to not doing it this
way. Yes, I have to be more watchful of what's left on the drive and
making room available on the holding disk but that's not a big deal.
Granted ... the test restore I did earlier today was SLOOOOOWWWWW but
that may be a network issue, not an amanda issue.
