It's important to note that the indexes are backed up as part of the client
backup, NOT the server's backup. On the other hand, the indexes "belong"
to the server, not the client (this also affects browse & retention
policies).
The trick is to define the pool by the Group, not the client name. Then
any savesets for that group, including indexes - and bootstrap - should go
to that pool.
