Is there some way of getting an index of what's on a given tape?

I'm using the long DLE format to break down my file system into smaller "disks" and am using 'exclude append' to exclude certain things. The mail report obviously tells me which "disks" were backed up, but since these are pseudo-disks anyway, I'd like to see what under each of them was backed up.

Is there a way to get the file listing for each disk?

If you have "index yes" for the DLE's, you can find out from the
index files:
        ~amanda/TheConfig/index/HostName/_disk_list_entry/20040401_0.gz

(the filename is the date + underscore + backup level)

use a command like:  gzip -dc < the-file-above | less

If you don't have indexing turned on, you may read the backup images
on tape with amrestore -p (see manpage) and generate a TOC using
"gtar -tvf -" or "restore -tvf -" , depending on how it was created).
