I've punted on this.  Since 6, it should at least be possible to do
this, but it's not trivial.

Instead I have a machine that has all the other machine's indexes on
disk.  If I need a restore, I link the machine in questions to /nsr and
start networker.  This is reasonable given the rarity of restores.  If I
had to restore from multiple environments simultaneously, this wouldn't
work too well.
