Greetins, I finally solved what was wrong using amrecover to restore the files; Was a nasty combination of:
- Lack of the "index yes" parameter in my amanda.conf dump definitions. - Bad names on my ".amandahosts" file. Check your /etc/hosts for inaccurate entries, even if you're using NFS (can be a problem). - Running amrecover on the server; Run it as root on the client box and make sure i't works (i checked that using Solaris Dump and Linux TAR). Also another of my problems was using Linux dump. Is simply useless with amanda, stick with tar (not very usefull if you have to backup time sensitive files as Rational Clearcase VOB's). Hope this helps someone else with the same type problem i got.
