The current directory is where you start amrecover from, but you can
change it using the command 'lcd'.
Say the file system is /home and you want to restore the directory
/home/tom. You could do this:
# cd /home
# amrecover Daily
# lcd /tmp
# add tom
# extract
Restoring files into directory /tmp
Continue? [Y/n]: y
This will create ./tom in the directory you changed to. In other words,
you should now have /tmp/tom.
