Yes, I used 'setdate 2011-03-25', but it usually defaults to the date of
the last backup made, I believe.
>> In amanda.conf, do you have the index parameter set to yes?
Yes. I have it defined in the dumptype I'm using as follows (this works
for me in my daily backup config, of which the monthly one is a copy,
but with the logdir and indexdir set to /etc/amanda/monthly):
define dumptype comp-tar {
program "GNUTAR"
tape_splitsize 1Gb
compress fast
index yes
record no
exclude list "/etc/amanda/exclude-list"
encrypt server
server_encrypt "/usr/sbin/amgpgcrypt"
server_decrypt_option "-d"
}
>>In your config directory, do you have index dirs and files for the
DLE?
I believe so. Do you mean these?
-sh-3.2$ ls -l index/npt01/_matrix_data1/
total 124

Thanks.
