Re: [Networker] Backing up a client to a storage node and its indexes

 
Bootstrap backups have to go to the Networker server, but I believe with
a correctly set up pool you could redirect the index backups to go where
ever you desire.

My understanding (in 7.3) is that it is the NW Server that has to back 
up the indexes.  Therefore, the tape would have to be unmounted on the 
storage node and remounted on the NW Server for the index to be written 
to it.

Therefore, I don't think it is likely that NW will go to that bother -- 
instead it is likely to mount another tape of the correct pool and hold 
it to write all the indexes to.
