zero byte index files...
Hi, When we run amrecover on one of our hosts, we get the following error message: --- 200 Dump host set to knidos. $CWD '/root' is on disk 'hd4' mounted at '/'. 200 Disk set to hd4. No index records for disk for specified date If date correct, notify system administrator Invalid directory - /root --- We examined the index files and saw that they are empty. In our configuration file index option is set to yes, and for our other hosts, index files are created successfully. We' ve suspected from the gnutar and we upgraded it from v1.13 to v1.13.25, and we recompile amanda2.4.2.p1 both on server and client, but nothing has changed. did anybody face with this kind of problems?.. --- Ahmet Ozturk METU-CC / Technical Support Groupw.

What is the syntax to generate an index file from tape that is usable with amrecover? For some reason the MacOSX amanda clients fail to generate an index files. thanks

Re: Newbie: Can't get amanda user to work
Hi Kevin: I am not sure if I understood everything from your message, but it is not clear to me, which user will be doing the backups from the server (amanda is the default user) and whether your client machine is the same as your server. You must have a .amandahosts file in the client amanda home directory, that gives access to amanda user from the server machine. In my setup, my backup admin acount is amanda, my server is server.domain.mx and my client is client.domain.mx. I have an .amandahosts file in amanda´s home directory in the client with the following line: server.domain.mxamanda You will also need an .amandahosts file in the server´s amanda´s home directory, with the client machines name and root as the authorized user, in order to recover from the clients, but that is another story. If you have a .rhosts file in your clients amanda´s home directory, it must have this same line. I have heard about it :) Hope this helps. Good luck ...
