Hi Spock,
Bringing the data to some kind of near line storage is pretty simple, but you'll need to give us some information regarding the backup medium and method.
I see from the previous posts that the medium is tape, what kind and can you attach it anywhere else?
As to the method, can you tell us if it's tar or dump or cpio or something commercial?
Recovering to disk on an other server and the sharing the drive using NFS is an option, this can even be mounted into a VM or just copied to the VM if it can be recovered.

amfetchdump
AMFETCHDUMP(8) System Administration Commands AMFETCHDUMP(8)
NAME
amfetchdump - extract backup images from multiple Amanda tapes.
SYNOPSIS
amfetchdump [-c|-C|-L] [-p|-n] [-a] [-O directory] [-d device] [-h] [--header-file filename] [--header-fd fd] [-o configoption...] config
hostname [disk [ date [ level [ hostname [...] ] ] ]]
DESCRIPTION
Amfetchdump pulls one or more matching dumps from tape or from the holding disk, handling the reassembly of multi-tape split dump files as
well as any tape autochanger operations.
It will automatically use the Amanda catalog to locate available dumps on tape, in the same way that the find feature of amadmin(8) lists
available dumps.
The hostname, diskname, datestamp, and level dump specifications are further described in amanda-match(7). Note that at minimum a hostname
must be specified.
Unless -p is used, backup images are extracted to files in the current directory named:
If a changer error occurs, or the -d option is given, then amfetchdump prompts for each required volume.
hostname.diskname.datestamp.dumplevel
OPTIONS
-p
Pipe exactly one complete dump file to stdout, instead of writing the file to disk. This will restore only the first matching dumpfile
(where "first" is determined by the dump log search facility).
-h
Output the amanda header as a 32K block to same output as the image.
--header-fd fd
Output the amanda header to the numbered file descriptor.
--header-file filename
Output the amanda header to the filename.
-d device_or_changer
Restore from this device or changer instead of the default, prompting for each volume.
-O directory
Output restored files to this directory, instead of to the current working directory.
-c
Compress output, fastest method available.
-C
Compress output, smallest file size method available.
-l
Leave dumps in the compressed/uncompressed state in which they were found on tape. By default, amfetchdump will automatically
uncompress when restoring.
-a
Assume that all tapes are already available, via tape changer or otherwise, instead of prompting the operator to ensure that all tapes
are loaded.
-n
Do not reassemble split dump files at all, just restore each piece as an individual file.
-o configoption
See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8).
EXAMPLES
All the examples here assume your configuration is called SetA.
Here's a simple case, restoring all known dumps of the host vanya to the current working directory.
$ amfetchdump SetA vanya
A more likely scenario involves restoring a particular dump from a particular date. We'll pipe this one to GNU-tar as well, to
automatically extract the dump.
$ amfetchdump -p SetA vanya /home 20051020 | gtar -xvpf -
CAVEATS
Amfetchdump is dependent on accessing your server's config, tape changer, and (normally) dump logs. As such, it's not necessarily the most
useful tool when those have all been wiped out and you desperately need to pull things from your tape. Pains have been taken to make it as
capable as possible, but for seriously minimialist restores, look to amrestore(8) or dd(8) instead.
