It's overkill to keep a mirror copy of a years worth of index for a
client, but it might be worth keeping a mirror copy of the last
full + incrementals of a client ??
Is there a utility that can copy bits of the indexes themselves,
rather than getting them from tape ??

To follow up my own post, what do people do as far as keeping mirror
copies of important files ? The minimum to mirror to get the backup
server back quickly following a disk death would seem to be
1) the mm database
2) the res directory
3) the server indexes
The problem with copying these files is that in order to get a
consistent copy you would need to regularly stop NetWorker first, and
that's often not practical in a busy environment.
You do of course have your NetWorker filesystems on mirrored or RAIDed
disks don't you? Better still if you use EMC storage, your NetWorker
filesystems should be SRDF'ed to a remote site.
