That would be most welcome (although please use sh (not bash) or Perl to keep in the spirit of what the rest of Amanda releases). However (you knew that was coming, right? :-) ... This is a much harder thing to do than you might think. If the image is created with GNU tar, and you have GNU tar on the tape machine, then it's not too bad. Otherwise, you have to send the image back to the original machine (or a machine with the same restore software) to create the index, then grab that output back on the server and run it through the appropriate sed to create the file. There's a reason nobody has fought this battle yet :-). >Sacha Panasuik John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
