I'm trying to finish up a configuration that normally backus up
to a RAIT of one vtape, and one real tape. The backup side of
this is working.

I wnat to have a disk_only (and perhaps a tape_only) config, that
will only be used to restor things. I've set up a common amanda
confi file  in ../amanda.conf.main, and all 3 configs amanda.conf
file include it. In it I have:

nfofile "/opt/amanda/var/DailyDump/curinfo"    # database DIRECTORY
logdir   "/opt/amanda/var/DailyDump"            # log directory
indexdir "/opt/amanda/var/DailyDump/index"      # index directory

DailyDump is the "prime" configuration.

DailyDump's amanda.conf file looks like this:

ncludefile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda.conf.main"
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/DailyDump/chg-multi.conf"
tapetype RAIT

That's everyhting that is in it.

disk_only's amanda.conf looks like this:

includefile "/opt/amanda/etc/amanda.conf.main"
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/opt/amanda/etc/disk_only/chg-multi.conf"
tapetype HARD-DISK

But look at this:

root@amanda:/tmp# /opt/ama*/sbin/amrecover DailyDump
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.0. Contacting server on amanda.meadwestvaco.com ...
220 amanda AMANDA index server (2.5.0) ready.
200 Access OK

So far, so good right? But then:

root@amanda:/tmp# /opt/ama*/sbin/amrecover disk_only
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.0. Contacting server on amanda.meadwestvaco.com ...
220 amanda AMANDA index server (2.5.0) ready.

200 Disk set to /.
No index records for disk for specified date

Can't sem to find the index records, right? But it _should_ be able to
as they are configured in the common amanda config file. Or do the
index records somehow reference teh configuration? If so, can I
overide this somehow?
