avtar command
We have a Avamar/Data Domain system. When we use the avtar command to do a manual backup it writes the backup to the Avamar Utilty node. I am getting frustrated because I am not finding much information on how to fix this.

You need to include the following syntax on the avtar call.
The index number can vary when more than one DD exists on the Avamar system.
--ddr --ddr-index=1

WE have tried with the --ddr --ddr-index=1 also index=0 same thing
here is the script that we are using for our test
/usr/local/avamar/bin/avtar --create --id=**** --ap=**** --path=/AIX/granite.abc.efg.hij --logfile=/usr/local/avamar/var/clientlogs/test_backup --label=test_backup_granite --ddr-index=0 /home/frank/

You must specify BOTH the --ddr flag AND the --ddr-index flag. The ddr-index will be ignored unless --ddr is also specified.
