RE: amrecover can't find index files...
Eureka! It seems I had a bit of a compound problem. there *was* an issue with the log files, but after I followed your advice and put the logfile back into $logdir, amanda seemed to dislike the fact that the tape wasn't rewound (but didn't bother to report it :/). after doing an mt r and having the log file in the proper location, it worked like a champ. Thank you much Jean and Rebecca!! --Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jean-Louis Martineau Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 1:00 PM To: Chris Noon Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: amrecover can't find index files...
