Hi,
I am trying to configure amanda for taking backups.We have succesfully

In case you know the location of the backup sets on the tapes you don't
even need Amanda to recover.

you of course need to use "amadmin CONFIG force hostname [disk]".

No, you just need to install Amanda properly.

The gzipped files are empty.
Then the indexing didn't work and you won't be able to use amrecover.
I don't know why that would have happened. I'd start by looking at
