As far as I can't tell, amrecover won't work unless
1. Log file from the backup you are trying to recover is still present
The log are needed to find which dump are on which tape and where on that tape.
Isn't that information in the index and/or "curinfo"?
2. DLE is still in the disklist
That's what amanda use, but for some command (eg, amrecover, amadmin find, ...)
it should build its disklist dynamicaly from the log file? That will help
a lot if you remove an entry from your disklist.
Quite.
Why? Shouldn't amrecover work from the index alone?
Having an index doesn't mean that the dump is somewhere.
And having the logfile does?
Seems more logical to me to view the amanda *database* as the
authoritative information, and logfiles as purely informative data that
may be removed at the user's discretion
