An index file doesn't mean that the backup is still available.
Really?
Trying this helped me figure out what was wrong ;-) The command would list the expected dates and tape names when executed as root, but as amanda, I got "No dump to list", which made it quite obvious that the permissions of some file required were wrong (I suspected that all along, but I wasn't able to spot the exact problem earlier.) It then turned out that tapelist was no longer readable by amanda, for some reason. After a simple chmod, I was able to restore the backup correctly.What's the output of 'amadmin ks find mercedes-benz /usr/people/jfo'?
Question: Why didn't amrecover or the amindexd log tell me that the tapelist was unreadable?
