Ahh, amadmin, the Swiss Army Knife of amanda :)
"find" is another of its commands I've not tried.

Just a defect note, using the 2.5.0p2 FC4 rpm from zmanda.com.

The two following two commands gave the same results,
ignoring the sort option:

        amadmin tstvt find
        amadmin tstvt find -sort ldhkv <list of my hosts>

And the following command said I had no dumps to list :((

        amadmin tstvt find -sort ldhkv
