Re: [Networker] manual backup of index files

Sorry if this is a dup... i got a message saying it was rejected for being over 500 lines.

OK... I felt guilty about being lazy.
From the command line run savegrp -I
i.e.
/usr/sbin/savegrp -I mysavgrp

>From the gui go to groups expand details (in the unix gui) go to options and select No index save.

I would like to add if your going to use this method, I would skip the indexes during the normal backup for this client. You can set this via the gui or set a flag... I cant remember the flag off hand (I would look it up but I am heading out the door... Sorry I know... i'm lazy).

You can create a group name "index" and create new client for all clients that you would like to have indexes backup and assign index savegrp to these clients. Modify cron to run "savegrp -N 8 -O -G index" command from NSR server. -O option will backup only indexes of all clients under "index" savegrp.
