Hi,

when I try to recover files with am recover, I get a strange messages saying
that the directory / file I'm trying to restore is not in archive..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
I'm using the following dump type in amanda.conf:

define dumptype user-tar {
    root-tar
    comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
    priority high
    index
    compress none
    dumpcycle 0
}

I manage to see the index file in
/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily2/index/hostnameXXX

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

the command I issue is

amrecover Daily2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------

the error I get is:

amrecover> ls
