I think you need to read the amanda documentation. download the source
to amanda, and look in the docs directory.
also read this document: http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda.html
you restore from disk, exactly the same way you restore from tape,
please read the documents on how amanda works, they explain it much
better than I do.

you are a bit mistaken as to how amanda works, amanda automaticaly
decides if it should do a full or incremental backup each day of the
backup cycle. if you only want to change tapes once a week, but have
backup every night, here is what you could do.
have a dump disk big enough to handle all backups for one week, and on
weekends, run amflush to dump those disks to tape.

Hello,
I was wondering - how does one back up dail incrementals onto a hard
disk while the weekly backups are on tape?
Thanks.
