Hi JC,

No one replied so it seems that only the two of us have this problem.

I hope to see someone else.

Hi all!
I experience quite a strange problem with Amanda on Cygwin: I do not get the 
index results of dumps. The backups go well (I can amrestore them without 
error) but the indexes are not generated (the index files on the server are 0 
byte...) so I cannot amrecover them.
This is not a firewall issue since I do not have any between my client and my 
server.
This is also not a server index issue since I get all other indexes (all the 
other ones that are not with a Cygwin client).

The logs client-side say:
--- cut here ---

So apparently no problem? I have tested manually the "tar -t" command to see if 
its output was amindexd compliant (I suspected Cygwin proprietary problems), but it is OK.

I have a 2.4.4b1 client and a 2.4.3 server.

Anyone has an idea?
Thanks!
