I asked a while ago about locating a file backed up by amanda and I was pointed to the index directory and sure enough in
indexdir / client / disk you find a bunch of gzipped index files named date_level.gz which is fine. However, how do I map them to backups and tapes ? I want to try to write some kind of a frontend so that I when some poor luser says "I've lost VeryImportantDocument.pdf" I can type something like amanda_locate VeryImportantDocument.pdf and I'll get a listing of any backups I should have of that file, where they were from, when they were made, and what tape they're on so that I can insert the right tape and get the file back with amrecover. amrecover on its own doesn't quite do the trick because it only gives me an FTP like browser, so I can't e.g. find a file without knowing what directory it was in.
