Keep the backup server in an active savegroup (with a smallest saveset in 
client definition).

If backup server is not part of any active group, it adds bootstrap saveset to 
everygroup automatically.

Subject: [Networker] Saving to storage node always puts "bootstrap" on tape 
drive of server

I have a job where I am now directing the clients to save to a storage 
drive, rather than the server. This group has always been set to "No index 
save". Yet, since changing the clients to save to the storage node, the 
job seems insistent on wanting to write a "bootstrap" to a tape in the 
corresponding pool on the tape library of the server.


saveset server:server:bootstrap: percentage of inactive files by count: 
0.06, by space: 0.02

Why does it want to write a bootstrap, if the group is set to "No index 
save"? As it stands, I need to keep a tape of the same pool in the tape 
library of the server, to write the bootstrap of this job. Ordinarily, I 
save the bootstrap and all client indexes to a different pool using 
"savegrp -O".

I know that bootstraps and client indexes can only be written to a tape 
drive on the server, and not on a storage node. But I shouldn't be writing 
either, with this job, should I? Any ideas why it is doing this, and how 
to stop it needing 2 tapes (one in the server for the bootstrap, one in 
the storage node for the data)?
