interesting.. i havn't tried changing the gnutar used by my amanda.. now that I think about it.. I remember having to make changes on some old amanda setups..
I am about ready to try changing my compiler config.. I work on a very odd distribution (home grown) that has a slightly whack compiler setup.. and I'm going to try doing a build against our default libc5 compiler (don't ask.. it's not my fault, i'd be in debian bliss if I could) did you look at the index files manualy? what do they show.. that's thing that made me wonder.. the index files on disk are perfectly fine.. they show all the properly backed up data. but amindexd doesn't return all the listings. -ben On Fri, 7 Jun 2002, Jon LaBadie wrote: > On Fri, Jun 07, 2002 at 01:52:39PM -0500, Ben Kochie wrote: > > I am using indexing, and gnutar to backup all of my filesystems, I keep > > the indexes in /etc/amanda/backupset/index/ according to my amanda.conf > > file. > > > > backups are working properly, no errors reported.
