Hi,
How long does amanda keep in its catalog a backup image?
I mean, what is the oldest backup I can restore for a specific client?
Amanda keeps the online info and index of a tape until it is reused,
or until you label a tape (with force flag) with the same label, or
until you amrmtape the tape.
You need the index to use amrecover, but without the index, you
can still use amrestore, or even dd plus gnutar or restore to
recover anything from the tape.
