Those paths are spelled out at least for the indices, in your amanda.conf 
file, and we all assume we know where the amanda "configuration" 
directory is kept, in my case it is /usr/local/etc/amanda/name_of_config.  
I save the whole /usr/local/etc/amanda tree myself.  They are appended to 
the vtape just generated, which has so far proven to be many times as 
dependable as cheap DDS2 tapes ever were.  And the drive itself is a 
separate drive, only system /var also lives on it as does a couple of 
gigs of swap.
