Yes - it's the backup server that's backing up the indexes - where it
does the backup to is controlled by the client record for the server
itself...


You may have noted that you cant remove the word nsrserverhost from the
storage nodes field - the trick here is to add the storage node you want
the indexes to go to at the front of a list with nsrserverhost at the
end. The effect will be that all backups from the server - its own
filesystems, and index backups will go to the storage node, however the
bootstrap and the index of the server's own filesystems will still go to
it's local device...

Of course if you wanted to direct to different storage nodes depending
on which client the index is for you are stuck.
