Hi Manel,
Well, It can be done quite easily :
First, take your backup without the indexes scheduling
"savegrp [-c client [-c client]] -I <group name>"
or
"savegrp -I <group name>"
At this stage, you will backup the data from the client(s)
based on each client's schedule and policies. It can
also be done from GUI by marking "NO SAVE INDEX" flag.
Once done, schedule an
"savegrp [-c client ] -w browse -y retention [-l full] -O <group>"
or
"savegrp -w browse -y retention [-l full] -O <group name>"
At this stage, you will only backup the client file index of
each clients in the group and you will overwrite client's
browse and retention period with 1 year, for sample.
This cannot be done from GUI, "NO SAVE" flag begin automatically
unchecked after each complete savegrp run.
You can also generate a full index backup by adding "-l full"
in the above second sample set of savegrp cmds, maybe easier
for recovery.
HTH,

Subject: Re: [Networker] Any clues about why this tape expired?
Hello again,
Thanks for your answer (and those of Thierry too!).
As you said, now I can recover a saveset (probably the complete saveset) but
I can't browse it to recover only a file BECAUSE the indexes are missing.
I'll explain why we are doing this kind of backups and hope this can be used
by you or another Networker list reader to solve the problem in a better
manner.
We have a NORMAL backup (run every night, incremental and full in weekends)
for all the machines in the Computer Laboratory. As some of these machines
are used by students, every semester we need to do a "special" backup with a
different retention period. The normal retention is 28 days and the special
backup is 1 year.
We've created another definition of the same client and assign to this
"special client" a different browse and retention time. Then, these clients
are included in a group that is started from GUI manually by the operator
every semester. This group doesn't include the Legato server, only the
student servers.
After every backup of a client, Legato backup the index for this machine and
this index is included in the same tape than these "historical backups".
These index have a different retention (28 days) because this is the
retention period for the server itself.
So, ¿how can I include the indexes for this kind of backup and have them the
same expiration date without including the server itself in the group? Or,
¿must I include the server with a different saveset definition to not
include all its hard disks?
Any idea?
