In order to have indexing on your backups, you must specify 'index yes' inside 
of the backup type in amanda .conf. ie:

define dumptype nocomp-user {
    comp-user
    comment "Whatever comment you want"
    compress client fast
    priority medium
    index yes
}

The next backups using your dumptype with index yes inserted will be indexed 
for amrecover.

Is there a reason indexing isn't on by default?  They don't really take up
that much space, and recovery is an all or nothing deal without them.  Just
curious as why some of the defaults are the way they are.
