Apparently you are using Solaris platform.  There are a bug in
Solaris's ufsrestore command.  That bug is affected only on large
filesystem with a lot of files (e.g. over 30,000 files) You will
need to download patch from sunsolve.sun.com to fix the problem.

With the bug, ufsrestore was unable to generate a file listing for
amindex server.  When sendbackup process on the client side makes a
dump, it pipes to ufsrestore to collect index information to be sent
to the Amanda index server.  What happens is that when a dump is really
large and terminates with a "xtrmap: too many map entries" error and
never dumped the file listing to amindex server.  Apparently it never
showed in
the debug files generated by sendbackup.  I discovered the
error message only when I did an ufsrestore directly from the dump to
figure out why it never generated a file listing.  So the patch listed
below will fix the xtrmap bug and will generate file listing for amindex
server.

I don't know which version or platform you are using but I'll list
all patch numbers for each platform.

SunOS 5.5.1/SPARC     104490-06
SunOS 5.5.1/x86       104491-06
SunOS 5.6/SPARC       105722-05
SunOS 5.6/x86         104723-05
SunOS 5.7/SPARC       106793-05
SunOS 5.7/x86         106794-05

Solaris 8 patches is available only for customers with support
contract with Sun:

SunOS 5.8/SPARC       109091-02
SunOS 5.8/SPARC       109092-02

If you don't have a support contract with Sun, let me know and
I can forward you the patch file for Solaris 8.
