Re: No index records problem

[Stefano Coletta]

If you cut 

07735042527/./

from the line and you tar again the file you'll see that restore works.

The resulting line will be:

pc28_21092003_111103.tar.gz

However you have to use the latest tar version to get properly generated 
index files.

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?
Thanks!

Hi,

I'm having some trouble using amrecover. When I try restoring one
     

particular client's files on the amanda server, amrecover tells me:
 

No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator
This results in no files being shown when I do an ls, and so I am not
     

able to recover any files.
 

Strangely, other clients in the same backup-run do not have this
     

problem, only that particular client.
 

The amdump was done without any errors/warnings. 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?  Do a "gzmore" on the file if you have it,
or "gunzip < 20030926_0.gz | more" if you don't.
It should start with a list of directory full pathnames starting from
the root of the DLE, not the system.  The directory entries IIRC end
with a "/" also.  This will be followed by the list of files.
