Hi folks.

i am having the exact same problem.

I have checked the following:

1. Version of tar is upgraded
2. The backups themselves are successfull
3. The index files are indeed present where they should be
4. the correct index directory is specified in amanda.conf
5. the amanidx/tcp service is specified in /etc/services on the client
machine eg. :

amanda          10080/udp       # amanda added by jdb 2002-05-15
amandaidx          10082/tcp       # amanda added by jdb 2002-05-15
amidxtape          10083/tcp       # amanda added by jdb 2002-05-15

6. these services are available on the server machine (redhat 7.2) and in
addition being in /etc/services, are also correctly present in xinetd.

7. If it type the history command, the backup for that particular host is
listed correctly.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

thanks,
john.


Here is the output from amrecover (domain names removed to protect the
innocent).
