You can't restore a level 1 without first restoring its level 0. Also, you need to read amrestore(8). To quote: Unless -p is used, candidate backup images are extracted to files in the current directory named: hostname.diskname.datestamp.dumplevel You will want to use the -p option to amrestore to pipe its output into tar in order to get the files back.
