Amrecover, not amrestore, would be the command to extract a directory
tree from that holding disk (or tape).

If that is what you used, and you were unable to see the index of files
in the dump, was the "record" parameter set to "yes" when the dump was
made.  No index is created otherwise.  If it was set, show the command
and interactive amrecover session you used (see "script" command as a
possible recorder)
