One of my systems has similar problems. But because this system is a Windows 2000 system and I'm backing it up from an amanda client under Cygwin, I thought it might have been the unusual setup I'm using. However I'm coming to believe others are having similar problems so that it may not be my unique setup. A sample of my results. When I look at the D: partition, there are > 2100 directories and files there. When I look at the amanda tape of a level 0 of that partition, it seems all the files are there. And the size of the dump is reasonable. But the index is certainly not. The index has 220 entries, 190 of them directories. Very few, if any, of those are more than 3 levels down. The 30 or so files are all in the top 2 directories. I originally did the cygwin client using gnutar 1.13.19. Now I'm using 1.13.25 and seeing the same results. Suggestions? -- Jon H.
