This is a central point I've been discussing (see the thread about reading
a "foreign" bootstrap). What I've been told is:

if the server's client id had changed when the server was rebuilt.
So if your indexes (like mine) were done with "savegrp -O", as opposed to
being saved with the backup of the client, then you're probably out of
luck, and must use "scanner -i". (or rebuild the server that originally
made the bootstrap backup.
If, however, you save the indexes with the client backup:

For example: if the index saaveset for index:ADMNCRY001 is 123456789,
and it is a full backup, then you can use the following to recover
