I use amnda to backup several servers, unfortunatly since a few weeks ago, indexes for amrecover don't work anymore. I check the faq-o-matic http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/24.html and I am not in any cases mentioned "index yes" is set, amrecover is call with "-C" , and I use Gnu tar tar-1.14-4 on my fedora core 3 backup systeme ( kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 amanda-server-2.4.4p3-4)

tar 1.14 is not a good version of tar to use. See
http://www.amanda.org/docs/faq.html#id2554919

Matt

in that case the problem occurs on a client running
$ rpm -q tar
tar-1.13.25-13
