Yes, although I'd add to that list that you can (in theory) restore and reassemble split files without logs but with a working config using amfetchdump. It should even be able to operate a changer. > P.S. I think it will make more sense to move the inventory mode to > amrestore, making that the generic restore-without-config-or-indices > tool.

IMNSHO, amfetchdump -i is not all that useful to begin with, because you still can't use amrecover to browse the logfiles without also having complete indexes. I think it would make more sense to combine the upcoming "reindex" functionality with any "relog" functionality, whether via options on an existing tool or via an entirely new tool. --Ian -- Wiki for Amanda documentation: http://wiki.zmanda.com/
