Thanks,
It's seems to be working. I now am seeing the back up indexes
(indices?). I'm not %100 sure of what the solution was but some of
the things I did were....
1. Re-installed cygwin making sure that cygwin/bin was in the
windows enviroment path.
2. made sure that I stop cywinv services before installing
cygwin packages.
It's hard to say that if it was one of these two things or
something else but anyway, thanks for your help.
Regards,
Michael.

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble getting the amanda backups going under
cygwin. The server is backing up serveral other linux boxes so I
think that's ok. The data is being sent to the server from the
cygwin box but the index file is empty.
The only thing that is showing any indication of a problem in in the
sendbackup log. which is reflected in the mail message below. I'm
sure that sed and tar (I'm using the latest version) are ok.

It appears that sed is not in your $PATH

sendbackup: end
\--------
The dumptype used is as follows.
define dumptype comp-user-tar {
program "GNUTAR"
comment "partitions dumped with tar"
options compress-fast, index, exclude-list
"/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority medium
}
Does anyone have and idea about how I can troubleshoot this problem.
I've looked throught the faq-o-matic and searched through
amanda-users.
Many thanks
Michael.
Also, your tar s/b 1.13-19 or 1.13-25, plain 1.13 is broken.
