Hi George,
A few months ago I played around with doing this exact same thing and it
took me a while to figure out how to specify the index save set and then to
get it directed to a specific tape pool, but I did get it to work. I'm on
Networker 6.1.3, server is HP-UX 11i.
I'll have to dig around a little bit to pull the information out of my head
and other sources in the next few hours and let you know exactly what I did
to get it to work.

to custom pool]
Still no cigar. NetWorker still writes the client index to the regular
nightly pool every darn time. Here's what I tried for the custom pool:
1. Listed: ^index:client_name under save sets, no other criteria
selected
2. Same as 1 but listed client_name under clients
3. Same as 1 but listed server_name under clients
4. Same as 1 but selected the affected group and listed client_name
under clients.
5. Same as 1 but selected the affected group and listed server_name
under clients.
Can't think of anything else. Yes, the pool is enabled. All devices are
selected.
Even if there is a way to make this work, I still need to get
client_name:/var also to this same pool. Clearly, that's not going to
work unless I specify the client, which I can't do under the saveset
listing. I mean, you can do that with the index, but not with other
savesets, right? Okay, so I'll have to have the client_name listed under
clients so it knows whose /var we're talking about, but it seems that
the suggestions were not to list anything under the clients criteria;
only criteria listed should be the savesets. Hmm ...
