Hi there,I got the same error message on a recovery attempt some time back, and it was caused by a permission problem that prevented the backup config from being read correctly. Note that the config files are read by amandad (amrecover is just a client application that interacts with amandad), which is usually executed as "amanda", so the files need to be readable by that user. Also, amandad apparently has (or had) a bug that prevents some file open problems from being reported in the logs.
ive got a Problem with amrecover on an Debian GNU/Linux maschine.
amrecover reports: No index records for disk for specified date If date correct, notify system administrator
In debug files in /tmp i cant find any other Informations.Debugfile is there but the informations are the same shown on client. There is a backup on level 0 on specified date. In amanda.conf index yes is set on dumptype. -> index is on the secified indexdir, so i can zcat it and see all files an directorys.
Iam using tar (GNU tar 1.13.25), so it cant be the known bug on older gtar versions, and amanda version 2.4.2p2.
Are there any solutions.
In other words, you probably need to chmod or chown one or more of the config files (in my case it was the tapelist) to make them readable by amandad.
Greetings Daniel
