Do you happen to have on tape a backup of the log files from your Amanda
server before it crashed? If so, you could you use amrestore to
retrieve the log files (at least up through the day before that last
tape) and then install them into place on current server installation.
(I'm not sure about Red Hat, but on Debian/Ubuntu the Amanda log files
get stored under /var/log/amanda/[CONFIG]/, so as long as the /var
partition/directory tree was covered by your backups you should be able
to find the amanda log files on the tape....)
Good luck.
