This is the procedure for restoring files from amanda to quark.

On quark, su over to root.
cd into the root of the filesystem you want to restore (e.g. /clients if the file is on /clients).
Run the command amrecover -C CSDaily -s backup -t backup. The amrecover command has a syntax similar to the standard UNIX restore command.
Find the file(s) or directories you want to recover and add them with the add command.
When you're done, type in the command extract. You will be prompted to load a magazine and tape. To load a tape once the proper magazine is inserted, use the amtape CSDaily slot n command on backup, where n is the number of the tape.
Hit y once the tape and magazine are loaded.
