Is this simply a case of not realizing that 'amrestore' is generally used

I am beginning to question my sanity here <G>. I am using the amrecover
interface to recover it but it seems that it will first extract the entire
tar'd up dle to /tmp/Amanda before extracting the small folder that I
requested. Am I wrong about that?

Let me assure, AFAIK Amanda does not do that.
How did you come to that conclusion?
What is the name of the file that is created in "/tmp/Amanda" (uppercase A in the name???)



If this is the case (and it seems to be what I have experienced) then my
problem is that the entire tar'd up dle will not fit on the partition which
contains /tmp/Amanda/. So to get at this particular folder for this restore
I need to change that default to another drive which does have enough free
space.

To further clarify, I am running Debian and using the packages in the debian
archive for Amanda. I am using vtapes also.
