logdir is configurable in amanda.conf
Run 'amgetconf CONF logdir' to find where amanda expect them.
Do the index are there? They should be in 'amgetconf CONF indexdir'
Do the tapelist file list all label with the correct date?
Do 'amadmin CONF find' list the dump?
What's in the amindexd debug file?

Hello!

Few days ago I migrated from (Arch)Linux to (Free)PC-BSD and before
that I did complete backup to tapes as well as on the external HD of my
Linux OS along with user data.

Just before that, I also, while still on Linux, migrated from Bacula
to Amanda my whole multimedia collection (scanned 35mm positives as
well as hi-8 & vhs movies).

I tested amrecover procedure as well as did amcheckdump and everything
was fine.

Today I've installed amanda-server on my Free/PC BSD desktop (from the
ports), but not matter what I do, when i attempt to do amrecover I get:
"No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator"

Let me add that I copied my Amanda config/state/log files from Linux to
BSD. At first I re-created the same Linux setup on FreeBSD, but then
was hinted on #amanda to check whether both configuration match upon
which I discovered that on FreeBSD Amanda expects state/log files
at /usr/local/var/amanda.

However, despite of cp-ing Linux config to the new location, I get the
same error.

Now I wonder whether the solution might be to try to build Amanda in a
way to use same location for config files as on LInux (/var/amanda) or
it should not matter?

What might be wrong?

I am not happy if the only solution would be to restore my multi-tape
dumps back to HD and then doing  backup again?

Any hint?
