I've been starting to work on a DRP plan here and I've run into a bit of a 
catch-22.

If the amanda index (and tape in my case) server is lost and all I have left is 
the tapes. How do I rebuild new index files for my tapes so that I can restore? 
I can't just restore the last set of index files from the most recent backup 
because they would reflect the state of the tapes from one day earlier 
(wouldn't they?).

I can't find a tool that I can feed the collection of tapes so that it will 
rebuild the index files. Is there such a thing.
