amrecover: 599 index file not found

[allenwliu]

My setup -- 3.2.3
server name: server1.sanfrera.com.
client name: clt1.sanfrera.com. backup disk: /backup-data

I ran "amdump DailySet1" successfully for a couple of times within last 2 weeks. Now I want to recover the backup data for /backup-data, but got error indicated in the title line. Here is process.
As root on clit1.sanfrera.com:

[[email protected] ~]# amrecover -C DailySet1 -s server1 -t server1
AMRECOVER Version 3.2.3. Contacting server on server1 ...
220 server1 AMANDA index server (3.2.3) ready.

amrecover> listdisk

200 List of disk for host clt1.sanfrera.com
amrecover> setdisk /backup-data
200 Disk set to /backup-data.
599 index file not found

When ran "ls" this is nothing available to recover. I can see on server1 that indexes did exist :

-sh-3.2$ ls -l
total 128

-sh-3.2$ pwd
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index/clt1.sanfrera.com/_backup-data

Can anyone help me?

TIA,
Allen

The reason was the disk name I used was /backup-data, the hyphen "-" caused the problem. After I renamed it without "-", both backup and restore worked.
Still need to know how to backup the data source with "-" in the name.

I got the same problem, but I can't even restore a disk which has no "-" (hyphen) in it. let's I want to recover "/testbckfiles" I get "599 index file not found"! But the index files do exist! Can a configured disk which contains a "-" (hyphen) be responsible for that??? I am struggling with this for weeks now. Any hint is highly appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!

Is your client and server the same machine?
Were you trying to do amrecover on the server?
