Hi there!

Client indexes are stored on the NetWorker server.  When the
group completes and the indexes are stored, a save is started
on the server, which backs up the indexes.  The client
for the index save is the server, because that is where the
data is coming from, not the client from the regular backup.

I don't know how to direct a particular client's index
to a different pool from the rest.  I'm afraid you will
have to research this yourself, or perhaps someone else
will have an answer.

There has been a lot of discussion on the subject of
indexes and pools over the years.  Searching the archives
might help.  Note that if your goal is completely isolating
client index data on particular tapes, you will need to
figure out how to exclude that clients index from the
regular server backup and bootstrap.  Such a scheme will
make disasster recovery very difficult, though.
