I get this:
host powderday:
interface default
disk c0t0d0s0:
program "DUMP"
priority 1
dumpcycle 10
maxdumps 1
strategy STANDARD
compress CLIENT BEST
comprate 0.50 0.50
auth BSD
kencrypt NO
holdingdisk YES
record YES
index NO
skip-incr NO
skip-full NO
It does say "index NO". How do I change this?

The indexdir existed but there were not sub-dirs for each disk.
