First let me say that you have an old version of Amanda. But I don't know where your
problem come from.
I only thing I can say is that, in my case (amanda 2.4.3), I also have problems with
Cygwin and index generation. Amanda does not tell me that there was a problem during
the backup; but when
Hello, using tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25, I am missing files from the index

Hi,
