Hi list.  This is my first entry.

I am happy to report good success getting amanda-2.4.2p2 working with my
OnStream DI-30 using the ide-scsi module and firmware update to 1.09.  
I can make dumps and read them.  I can restore with 
amrestore.  But I can't get amrecover to work for me.  Surely I'm doing 
something stupid and simple.  


>From /etc/amanda/test2/amanda.conf:
# tapetypes

# OnStream DI-30
# curtesy Arthur van Dongen 
define tapetype DI30 {
    comment "OnStream DI-30"
    length 14430 mbytes
    filemark 32 kbytes
    speed 970 kps
}

define dumptype nocomp-test { 
    global
    comment "test dump without compression, no /etc/dumpdates recording"
    compress none
    record no
    index yes
    priority medium
}

amindexd: version 2.4.2p2





At first the amindexd log complained of no amada.conf and disklist files in
/etc/amanda/amidxtape/  Why was it looking there instead of in
/etc/amanda/test2/ ?

I created this directory and copied my test2 configs into it.
I have no idea if this was appropriate or not.
I can't find the docs on the index server, so I'm quite mystified.

Any clues?
