Re: [Networker] Two questions on preserving an index?

We run into this all the time, as we move clients between backup servers.
The client will not stay frozen.  If you want that to happen, just change
the browse time on that client to year or decade.   If you delete a client,
you can always add it back to the backup server.  You can tell if a client
is tying up a license by using the nsrlic command.  It will list each client
that is tying up licenses.

Subject: [Networker] Two questions on preserving an index?

Two questions here:

1. If you have a client that is either powered off or not in an active
group, what happens to the index? Will it remain dormant since it's not
being updated, or will NetWorker truncate entries each day?

We have a client whose browse policy is 1 month, and it's not currently
being backed up. Will the index remain frozen indefinitely? So, if I keep
the client listed in the client list can I bring the host back on line
several months later and then browse back one month without worry that the
index entries would have been truncated?

2. What happens if I decide to remove the client from the list? It's taking
up a license even though it's not in an active group. If I note the
client-id, can I re-create the client later and be able to use the same
index that's been out there from before? Should I leave the index where it
is (no license required to leave it there, I assume?).

Thanks.

George
