I have a specific group called DRINDEX set up with all my clients in it.
This group is a member of the pool I wish the bootstrap info and indexes to
be saved to. I then run a scheduled batch job every day that runs the
command: savegrp -O -l full -G DRINDEX
Because the group is associate with the desired pool, it always puts the
data on the tape for that pool. I do this daily to create a tape for
disaster recovery purposes. It sounds like this is what you're trying to do
as well for a one-time running.

I was running it with a group ('savegrp -O Full-Server') but it didn't help.
No matter if I tried as a probe or not (-p) or all or just the indexes (-O)
I couldn't get the command line to go to a non-default pool. I guess
whatever vodoo I have in my daily operations (levels to certain pools, etc.)
I can't easily map that to a direct commandline for the bootstraps. So I
gave up.
I decided to let my noon laptops backup run, which would produce a
bootstrap, and go with that. Thanks for the help,
Dave
