indexdir "/usr/media2i/amanda/infos_sauvegarde/index"   

How can I checked multiple version , I have done "rpm -qa | grep amanda and I 
have the following things 

amanda-server-2.4.2p2-9
amanda-client-2.4.2p2-9
amanda-2.4.2p2-9

I think they are all different , amanda must be a common base to amanda-server 
and amanda-client. What do you think about that? 
any other amanda.conf files on my system are simple examples ( saved the files 
from my previous works )

example : 

[root@localhost root]# amrecover media2i
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on localhost ...
220 localhost AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready.
200 Access OK
Setting restore date to today (2003-05-16)
200 Working date set to 2003-05-16.
200 Config set to media2i.
501 No index records for host: localhost.localdomain. Invalid?
Trying localhost.localdomain ...
501 No index records for host: localhost.localdomain. Invalid?
Trying localhost ...
200 Dump host set to localhost.
Can't determine disk and mount point from $CWD
amrecover> setdisk /usr/OTSI
Scanning /var/tmp...
  rpm-tmp.69001: skipping cruft file, perhaps you should delete it.
200 Disk set to /usr/OTSI.
No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator
amrecover> ls
amrecover> lpwd
/root
amrecover> pwd
/usr/OTSI
amrecover> ls
amrecover>

--> I don't understand really "ls". does it works on the virtual file system ( 
where root is /usr/OTSI ) or on the real system file ( where root is "/" ) 

Thanks for advance
