I am now using 7.4.1 SP1 and ...
I am pleasantly surprise to let everyone know that "apparently" that behavior
is no longer true. My index saves "appear" to have the same browse time as
the clients that were backed up.
I am in the process of changing all the clients to have different browse and
retention policies based on the group that they are in so I didn't know that
changed until today's backups ran. ( I had to create 3 client definitions,
one for each of the groups they are in. I assume this is still true since I
could not find a browse/retention policy on the groups )
I just hope when the weekly backups run this weekend the correct browse and
retention are on those savesets.
