Hi,
Thank you for all the replies. They are a good food for the mind.

Let-me explain better. I have a big tree of files on OpenAFS, a
network filesystem, that is backup up by amanda. I need to copy this
tree to another place. I could use rsync, but I think this rsync will
take several days on a moving target.
My "clever idea" was to use the backups of amanda to restore the files
in the target. The backups I want forms a subset of all the clients
and DLEs in the amanda server. This means some thing like 6 clients
and 61 DLEs from 800. So is a good case for a script to recover this
61 DLEs.
