amrecover will recover the full dump followed by the dump of day 3.
The full dump will restore files a, b c
The dump of day 3 will delete file a b
The result is you get get only the file c.
You get the filesystem as it was while the latest restored backup was done.

I have a client that has a (to me anyway) 'strange' scenario:
Think about this scenario.
Day 1: Directory x has files, a, b c. Amanda does a full backup
Day 2: rm file a. Amanda does a differential backup
Day 3: rm file b. Amanda does a differential backup,
Day 4: Directory x has only file
The long and the short of the answer is this: I'd expect to be able to
recover any file: a, b, or c in any combination from up to dumpcycle
days past. the default behaviour should of course be to restore it to
exactly the state the user requests (as of the backup date the user
requests to

hello,
this question was already posted yesterday, but I
got no answer! ;)

When I try to run 'amrecover' to check file index
recovery, here's what it says:
bash$ /usr/local/amanda/sbin/amrecover -C daily1
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2. Contacting server on *
amrecover: Unexpected
did you check /tmp/amanda/amrecover.*.debug ?
amrecover.debug shows only 1 line:
amrecover: debug 1 pid 16190 ruid 0 euid 0 start time Wed Feb 28
12:13:55 2001
And are you running this on the server ?
if not, you have to specify the server
amrecover -C daily1 -s mytapeserver
my xinetd.conf for amandaidx amidxtape is:
service amandaidx
{
...
server = /usr/local/amanda/libexec/amindexd
server_args = amindexd
}
I don't think you want any server_args. Note:
xinetd state-dump gives:
Service = amandaidx

hi there,
I'm currently testing my Amanda conf.
This night, a first 'amdump' built a first full dump
of 1 filesystem.
