You may have run amrecover on a filesystem containing the index directory, and it removed all the files not present at the time the backup ran. Its safest to recover into a scratch directory and move the files where you need them. Restoring individual files should work, but if you pick a directory it will remove extra files. Even on individual files you might want to diff them before overwriting, in case there are edits made after the backup you might need to save, so restoring into a scratch dir would still be helpful. > Ran amdump several > times since and no index records are being created.

If you unzip or zcat that file is it totally empty or might it just contain the directory name? Look in the debug files on the client and server to look for clues. Another possibility is that your DLE is a link so all you are backing up is the link itself and not the directory it points to, or you are trying to use dump on a subdirectory (some versions of dump will, some won't).
