I can´t recover files from amrecover

[lgonzalez]

Hello,
this is my problem.
I´ve installed amanda-server on "backup-agp.domain.es" and amanda-client on "thais.domain.es".
Backup runs everynight correctly. But when I try to restore a file I can´t.
If I try amrecover from server, I get:

[root@backup-agp ~]# amrecover turdep_backup
AMRECOVER Version 3.1.3. Contacting server on amandahost ...
220 backup-agp AMANDA index server (3.1.3) ready.

The file existing at "/amanda/turdep_backup/index/thais.domain.es/_var/" is 20110516090008_1.gz

And if I try from the client:

[root@thais ~]# amrecover turdep_backup

any idea? I know, I´m lost

[martineau]

Amindexd try to unzip the 20110516090008_1.gz to 20110516090008_1.

Do /amanda/turdep_backup/index/thais.domain.es/_var/20110516090008_1 exists?

Do the userid 33 can write to /amanda/turdep_backup/index/thais.domain.es/_var ?

[lgonzalez]

Do /amanda/turdep_backup/index/thais.domain.es/_var/20110516090008_1 exists?

No, it doesn´t. But if I try gunzip 20110516090008_1.gz, into 20110516090008_1, recover give same result.

[root@backup-agp _var]# ls -l

Do the userid 33 can write to /amanda/turdep_backup/index/thais.domain.es/_var ?

yes, it is amandabackup:

more /etc/passwd
....
amandabackup:x:33:6:Amanda Backup
.....

[root@backup-agp slot4]# ls -l /amanda/turdep_backup/index/thais.domain.es/_var/

Thanks in advanced

I only disabled SELINUX, at /etc/selinux/config. Change "Enforcing" to "Disabled" and reboot.
Bye

I am having the same problem. Any resolution here? I have tried everything I could think of to resolve this, shy of completely reformatting and re-installing the software. If I cannot find an answer soon, then that will be my next move, which I am really not looking forward to. I have scoured the internet in search of a solution, and I am beginning to feel pretty hopeless that I will find one. If anyone can help me out here, you would have my undying gratitude. I am thinking that if I am forced to reformat, that I very well may just go ahead and buy a new system instead. I am thinking about stopping in [url=http://press.hhgregg.com]hhgregg[/url] and seeing what they have to offer. I have not yet been to this establishment, so I am somewhat curious as to what kind of deals they have. Thank you very much.
