Does amrecover automatically use "unflushed" files on the holding disk ?

A quick question.

Suppose you run some level 0 backup (GTAR method) with amanda and leav the files on the holding disks until there is enough files to fill a tape and run amflush. Say this takes 5-6 working days.

Now, if, after 3 days, I have to restore something that has been dumped on the disk on the first day and run "amrecover" on the client and "setdate YYYY-MM-DD (today - 3 days)"

Are the holding disk files "indexed" ? Will amanda use them and not ask for a tape when comes the time to extract ?

Thanks
