Jon, I have successfully gunzipped the indexfile. Amanda is backing up
exactly one directory on the client and that directory contains just one
file. Here are the contents of the gunzipped file:

07735043175/./
07735042527/./pc28_21092003_111103.tar.gz

The filename above is indeed the file amanda should backup.
Does this look like a correct index file? It does to me..... Any
suggestions?
Thanks!

Martin
