Re: [Networker] How to save primary server's index to storage node?

Ah, yes, I seem to recall experimenting with that at one time. I assume
that the index and bootstrap would be two separate entries.
One thing that always made me nervous about this method, though, is that
all the client indexes and bootstrap will go to this pool, tying up a
drive. I guess I could control that by also selecting the server's
group, but this might create long waits for the server when all the
drives are in use during fulls. I could dedicate a drive, but I hate to
do that. Maybe moving the server's group start time would resolve this.
But the other thing about this method is that all the server's indexes
and bootstraps end up on one tape for a long time before moving to the
next tape. As it is now, they move around between different tapes
labeled into the appropriate pool, so if I lost a tape, I might have a
recent index on another one. I could clone, I suppose, but kind of a
pain. With our older version of NetWorker, automatic cloning often
causes problems (device or resource busy, and SCSI bus resets), but
manual cloning, wherein I manually mount all the required tapes first
and then run the clone command, works just dandy. We do plan to upgrade.
Thanks.

You can try making a new pool and label a media from the storage node to

In the pool definition, use the column Save Set and enter INDEX & BOOTSTRAP
there. It should save index & bootstrap to this pool now.

Subject: [Networker] How to save primary server's index to storage node?
Is it possible to have the primary backup server's index get written to
a storage node?
We have a tape library attached to the server. It writes its data to the
storage node, but its index always gets written to the local tape
drives. We'd prefer to use only storage nodes, no local tape library.
Thanks.
