In order to have indexing on your backups, you must specify 'index yes' inside of the backup type in amanda .conf. ie:

define dumptype nocomp-user {
comp-user
comment "Whatever comment you want"
compress client fast
priority medium
index yes
}

The next backups using your dumptype with index yes inserted will be indexed for amrecover.

Googling for help on this, I found several posts that indicate that
"index yes" needs to be in the dumptype in amanda.conf But, if this is
so, why isn't it already in there? Or is it possible that something
else is really the issue?
