Hi George,
There is not impact on the savesets other than not being browsable. The
savesets can be scanned to recreate index entries (the exception are
block-level savesets like NDMP and SnapImage)
Using the [store index entries = off] option on the pool configuration, the
CFI is not updated during backups to that pool, but it doesn't affect the
information contained on the savesets. The "metadata" is on the CFI.
So regardless of whether or not "Store index entries" is on or off for
the pool, there's no difference in what gets written to tape, correct?
Your ability to use 'scanner -i' to create index entries is not going to
be any different, and won't take any longer, than it would have if you'd
had "Store index entries" turned on when the data was originally written
to tape. As far as the tape is concerned, there's no difference, just
that the CFI on disk will not get populated.

Are you seriously saying that "Store index entries" for a pool conflates
with "don't save any metadata?". That would mean that saveset recoveries
would be pretty useless too, wouldn't it?
