One thing about this business of mergin in an old index. Will the
current browse policy on the affected client's index affect this? Do I
need to change this? Currently, it's set to 1 month, and I need to merge
in the index from 01/27/03. I'm thinking maybe in some cases if you did
this then NetWorker might have to truncate something in the index in
order to make room for the merged stuff? Maybe it just enlarges the
index to accomodate this stuff and doesn't care about the policy?

Thanks.
