Is it possible to make an index of a tape after the backup?
Do you mean "amtoc", to generate a list of the images on tape,
or do you mean reading the tape, and generating such a list from it:
while mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1
do dd bs=32k if=/dev/nst0 | head -1
done
Or do you mean to generate the index-files into the image needed
for amrecover? It is possible, but I've never done it.
A script that reads each image and generates a toc (e.g. for tar
with the -t option), and does a little postprocessing with sed to
strip the initial dot and save it in a gzip-ed file named
~amanda/CONFIG/index/HOSTNAME/_disk_name/YYYYMMDD_L.gz
would probably work.
