Do 'amadmin <config_name> find' list all dump?
Do the tapelist file list all tapes?
Do you have all the log.<datestamp>.* files?

Do 'amcheck -s <config_name>' print errors or warnings?

Hi All,

Our AMANDA backup configuration consisted of AMANDA 2.5.2p1 on RHEL3 as the backup server and AMANDA 2.6.1p2 on RHEL6 as the AMANDA client. Recently,the RHEL 3 OS on amanda backup server crashed for some reason and I had to install RHEL 5.5 OS on it. I had backed up my original amanda configuration directories under /etc/amanda and also the contents of the /var/lib/amanda directory which contained the index data, before the OS reinstallation. I have installed AMANDA 2.6.1p2 on this new OS on the backup server and reconfigured it. I have also copied the directories containing the index data under the appropriate directories (/var/lib/amanda).

Now when I try to use the command (from my AMANDA client)

# amrecover -C <config_name> -s <index_server> -t <tape_server>

and use the proper "sethost", "setdisk" and "setdate" commands, I get the error "No index records for disk for specified date". The contents of the amindexd*.debug under the /var/log/amanda/server/<config> are roughly as follows:

1333357832.225922: amindexd: > DATE 2012-04-02
1333357832.226013: amindexd: < 200 Working date set to 2012-04-02.
1333357832.226299: amindexd: > OISD /
1333357832.226341: amindexd: < 500 No dumps available on or before date "2012-04-02"

Kindly suggest about what needs to be done to make the amrecover command work.

Thanks in advance,
