Jon, I have successfully gunzipped the indexfile. Amanda is backing up exactly one directory on the client and that directory contains just one file. Here are the contents of the gunzipped file:
07735043175/./ 07735042527/./pc28_21092003_111103.tar.gz The filename above is indeed the file amanda should backup. Does this look like a correct index file? It does to me..... Any suggestions?

Since I am doing the dump to my harddisk in stead of tape, I can actually see the amanda backupfile sitting there, so there's been no error in transfering the data. > > > > I checked /usr/adm/amanda/fulldaily/index/pc28/somedir and there is a file named 20030926_0.gz in it, so I suppose the indexfile has been created ok? > > Does it seem ok?
