Here's what I see when I use amrecover.

It does this for anything before 2008-09-19, which is for when I still

have backups still waiting in the holding disk. The file I want is from the

16th however.

The backup server is the "ministryofinformation" (Brazil reference), hence

all
samba shares on Mac OS X clients are backed up from being mounted by the
server.

ministryofinformation   //designmac/design_resource_archive/    user-tar
ministryofinformation   //designmac/design_resources/           user-tar

A history command shows the following:

amrecover> setdisk //designmac/design_resources/
200 Disk set to //designmac/design_resources/.
amrecover> history
