[root@servidor-backup restore]# amadmin DailySet1 disklist

...

    disk /home:

        index YES

define dumptype hard-disk-tar {
    hard-disk-dump
    comment "Back up to hard disk instead of tape - using tar"
    program "GNUTAR"

}

Are there any index files?  Look in ~amanda/DailySet1/index .
There should be files like "hostname._home.20040322.0.gz".
What is in the files?  'gzip < zome_file.gz | head'.

If the lines start with a large number, then that is a symptom
of a bad version of gtar, probaboy 1.13.

Then you'll have a look that the version of gnutar on that client.
   gtar --version

If it is version 1.13 it is not good.
You need 1.13.19 or better yet 1.13.25 (and nothing else currently).
