The amrecover.*.debug log reports sucessful connection to the index server, a listing of the files, multiple : add_file: Pondering ditem->path="/etc/vfstab.prevm" and then : amrecover: stream_client_privileged: connected to 131.227.86.16.10083 amrecover: stream_client_privileged: our side is 0.0.0.0.800 amrecover: try_socksize: receive buffer size is 65536 amindexd.*.debug reports similar success wrt connections and file listings but ends with : amindexd: time 23.641: < 200 Opaque list of /etc amindexd: time 52.703: ? unexpected EOF amindexd: time 52.703: removing index file: /var/opt/amanda/ccsrB/index/machine.domain.com/_/20030623_0 amindexd: time 52.703: pid 11306 finish time Tue Jun 24 10:50:46 2003 I can see no mention in any of the debug files regarding the restore program which leads me to believe that it isn't getting that far. Many thanks. Cheers, Adam
