The most common cause of this problem is not having enabled index generation in amanda.conf. The `index yes' option must be present in every dumptype for whose disks indexes should be generated.

Another possibility is that `amrecover' is not selecting the configuration name that contains the backups for the selected disk. You may specify a configuration name with the `-c' switch, when you invoke `amrecover'. The default configuration name can only be specified at Amanda configure time (--with-config=NAME).

Indexes are currently generated at backup-time only, so, if a backup was performed without creating an index, you won't be able to use `amrecover' to restore it, you'll have to use `amrestore'.

Sometimes it is also useful to specify the index-host and the tapehost by using the switches -s and -t.
