I have indexing enabled but I never make use of it. I'm either restoring an entire disk or someone's delete mail inbox. In both cases I use amrestore. You need indexing if you want to use amrecover. I just figure out what tape I need from my printouts. Only disadvantage to indexing is that it takes some diskspace on the amanda server. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - HMC UNIX Systems Manager My opinions are my own and probably don't represent anything anyway.
