yes. the log files in /tmp/amanda/amindexd-[date,etc.] do not really say anything other than exhibit the following behavior:
when using amrecover, i cd to the appropriate directory (meaning the directory which was backed up last night and which i want to test a restore on). the log file then says that the directory i tried to cd to was an invalid directory. Further info: if i look in the index directory for that host, i find the file which includes the directory in question. if i look in /tmp/amanda/amtrmidx, i see the host and the directory listed (although i don't know what this program does). thanks in advance for your help! cheers, john.
