Ouch! 300 bootstraps a day is wrong. You should be doing 1 or maybe 2 or 3 a day. You WILL see failures if the end of a save set coincides with the media database being off-line for the bootstrap.

If the NetWorker server is not in an active group, NetWorker backs up the bootstrap after every group as a sensible precaution. If your NetWorker server is not in an active group you should be asking yourself why not - the server needs to be backed up like any other client.
