Those are "indexes" of a level 3 dump.  I presume there are corresponding
level 2, level 1, and level 0 indexes also.  Correct?

Since the problem is not amrecover, stop focusing on it.
Go back to your reports, logs, debug files on server and
client to see any problems that occurred.

Is this the only DLE for which indexes were working and
now stopped?

If there were some good indexes made, then they stopped,
concentrate on the differences from before and after
that date.
