There's "amrestore" and "amrecover". Can't remember which does which
now. One of them is nice in that it looks into an "index" file
created by "amdump" according to your dumptypes:

You walk through the utility and specify files to add to your recover,
then tell it to do it, it tells you the name of the tape it wants, put
it in, and off it goes. IIRC you have to name the partition
according to the name you gave it in the disklist config file, e.g.,
if you called it "da0s1h" you can't ask for it as "/home". Here's my
"disklist" file for your amusement -- specifies local and remote hosts
and the disk partitions for the server to pull down, and a priority
for each.
Getting the .amhosts authentication to work is probably the trickiest
part, but use "amcheck" to find out what it can and can't get into.
