Hi Jon,
Thanks for your reply.

Indexing is set in the debian clients are backup without any issues.

Is there any thing else to add to the amanda-client.conf ??


Error I have from amreport

What is missing in the amanda-client.conf file?

        Was indexing turned on in the config for that DLE?

How to turn that on?

Many thanks

Prashant

Hi All,

I have added a slackware host to a backup schedule and there is no index for the host.

Amrecover shows the following for host webtwo and test directory is /usr/local/amanda

   200 Disk set to /usr/local/amanda/.
   No index records for disk for specified date
   If date correct, notify system administrator
   amrecover> quit

Was indexing turned on in the config for that DLE?
Did you set a date or take amrecover's default?
Which ever date was used, was a dump already done
on that date?
Can you see indexes for that DLE in the indexdir?
